For a second summer in a row, the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Rugby Club will offer a junior Rugby program for boys and girls aged 14 to 17 years. Those interested in playing and learning about Rugby this summer are welcome to join. There is no official league in place, but many Clubs are following our example by forming their own junior teams and we have scheduled exhibition matches and tournaments throughout the summer.

 

As one of the most popular sports in high school, Rugby is growing faster and faster across the province. The Ste-Anne’s Rugby Club has a winning tradition and a solid program that develops young athletes into talented Rugby players. In 2009, the Club continues its  commitment to the development of Rugby. But, more importantly the Club wants to provide a program that fills the needs of young athletes. It’s our intention to give local youth a place to play during the summer months.

 

Last year, we had students from seven different high schools playing with us, and we look forward to working with them again. Among the many qualified coaches who oversee the program is Lee Bieber, former coach of the Quebec U19 Women, John Abbott Lady Islanders, McGill Martlets and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Senior women’s teams. There is a wonderful and very experienced group of coaches who are sure to inspire young players:

 

Meet the Coaches on-line and read up on John Lavery (Coach of McGill Martlets), Margaret Thompson (Coach, Quebec Senior Women), Bryce Thomassin (Quebec Caribou), Eliaze Mainberger (Caoch John Abbott Islanders).

 

In addition, many of the Club's senior, provincial and national team players will be guest coaching throughout the season.

 

A special “Bring-A-Buddy” clinic will take place on Sunday, June 7^th from 12:30 to 3pm at our home field (following the WIM practice).  Hosted by our coaches, all juniors interested in playing with Ste-Anne’s this summer are invited to participate. Come meet the players, coaches and parents of our Club. It's free! Players are asked to bring a water bottle and their Rugby gear.

 

The Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue Rugby Club & SAINTS Juniors promotes WIM - West Island Montreal Youth Rugby (10 to 14 years). They practice Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 noon also at École St-George. You can find their link on our web page too!
