The Oakville Crusaders Rugby Club is proud of its very popular and successful junior rugby program. The club runs an Under 14 boys rugby program each year with many returning participants and coaches.

This year we have a great team of boys and dedicated coaches who will play games at our home field and away.

Right now there are two teams-- the “Knights” (born in 1995) and the “Lancers” (born in 1996). Both teams practice together.

The 2009 training season begins on Saturday May 2 at our south practice field on Ninth Line Oakville . Start time: 9:30am

Practices held every Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00pm-rain or shine.

Games are on Saturday mornings (9:30-11am) and when there are no games, we have practice.

A schedule will be available after May 1^st. The teams will be traveling to “away” venues such as London , Collingwood, Stratford , Aurora (no overnights expected)

The season ends after Labour Day.

• Our coaches stress that fair play and fun are the most important factors within our junior teams.
• Practices focus on developing rugby skills, game-play, fitness and team camaraderie.
• Safety is a key component behind all practices and games.
• No prior experience is necessary although many boys have been in our junior program for the past summers—a great way to learn!

All boys must play with a mouth guard and cleats (soccer cleats are fine).

Team shorts and socks are available to purchase at the Crusaders clubhouse.

We are registering U14 boys right now.

You will need to bring your son’s proof of age/health number and personal info into the club in order to register him for the season.

You will find the registration forms to print on the website here.
