Youth Development Academy (U10 to U12)
Academy Overview:
Our Youth Development Academy is the next step in your son/daughter’s development. We reinforce best skills and best practices to this critical age grade… those between the ages of 8 and 12. Our policy is to provide a low coach:child ratios of no more than 1:12 for individualized growth. It fosters listening skills, sharing and communication, in a safe, non-contact and FUN way through a variety of collaborative and cooperative games and activities.
For many years now, Upright Rugby has introduced and up-skilled many players across Ontario from U8 to U18 by providing a rich curriculum for kids that takes into consideration the various fundamental movement skills, and techniques required for kids to be successful.
Those who participate in this program are guaranteed to experience a fun, safe, enjoyable learning experience.
Our program is designed to complement the fantastic initiative of Rookie Rugby by Rugby Canada in order to provide children with the opportunity for increased exposure to the sport of rugby.
Our goal is to support Rugby Canada and the various governing bodies of rugby across Canada in their efforts to increase participation and the introduction of this fun, fast game for kids, with the hopes of making their rugby experience a life-long pursuit. We want to be a conduit for the many great rugby clubs across the provinces. From individual to club, to country… Upright Rugby Canada wants to make rugby better one player at a time.
