Pride Rugby

This is a specialty mixed-ability, non-gendered and non-contact introduction to rugby program for adults (19+), or juniors (U19-U15) who may have otherwise not felt welcome to participate in the sport of rugby, providing a safe space for Halifax's 2SLGBTQ+ community to try rugby!

We will train together every Friday from 6-7pm at St. Francis field in the South End of Halifax, and we will enter some dedicated Pride teams into a brand new Friday Night Flag Rugby league that we are starting up this summer from 7-8pm! This will provide a mix of tutorials/training and some actual games of flag!!!

I expect costs will be $50-100 for the whole summer, and that will cover insurance allowing you to participate in other non-contact rugby programs through the fall and winter!!!
