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 Jan 9, 2022 – Mar 6, 2022) focusing on developing core rugby skills: pass/catch skills, agility, evasion, finding space for boys and girls aged 5-12.
