Boys U16
The Under 16’s play in the Toronto Rugby Union U16 division. Games are full contact, played for 60 minutes, mostly scheduled for Saturday Mornings. To be eligible for the U16’s, date of birth must be in 1996 or 1997. In addition to the League games, Crusaders also play games against several touring teams, as well as a number of play-off tournaments.
In 2012 the U16/U15 section is likely to have approx 80-90 players. We are running three squads, (Swords / Arrows / Pikes) with each team competing in the U16 Toronto leagues. The Swords and Arrows teams will play in the “Premiership” (competitive) Division. The Pikes will play in the “Championship” (development) division.
Plus we have a series of incoming touring teams that we will pick a “select” crusaders team (of the in-form players from each of the squads), to play as a “select” team. This will ensure as much game time for all our players.
Training and practice sessions start in early May, and the league playing season is from Mid June through to end of August, and is intended to follow-on after the high-school playing season. This avoids any conflict between the school and the club games, and thus extends the playing season as long as possible. (Cost is $250, for a junior member)
