Their focus is on growing access to sport for young people through school and community programming.

Their coaches will be on site from 3:00pm to meet students at the end of the school day and provide supervision. The program will officially run from 3:30pm, delivering structured, fun, and inclusive flag (non-contact) rugby sessions focused on skill development and participation.
