Minis Offseason Programs

The Crusaders Rugby Club offers a number of offseason/indoor programs to help our athletes develop in the offseason. These programs have grown significantly in the past two years to incorporate more than 150 of our junior and minis athletes.

Minis Winter Program – 2021/2022

8 indoor sessions (Sundays Feb 6, 2022 – Mar 27, 2022) focusing on developing core rugby skills: pass/catch skills, agility, evasion, finding space for boys and girls aged 5-12.

• 8 x 1-hour indoor skills training sessions, Sundays 3-4pm or 4-5pm (Feb 6, Feb 13, Feb 20, Feb 27, Mar 6, Mar 13, Mar 20, Mar 27)
  • Please note: Participants will be split into age groups, with one group at 3-4pm and the other at 4-5pm; your child may be assigned to one of these hour blocks. If your child is younger, it is likely he/she will be in the first group; conversely the older children will be in the second group.
