Play Rugby

The Aurora Barbarians program focuses on fun and teamwork, all well working on fundamental movement skills and rugby specific skills. We accept new players at all age groups and encourage all players to remain with the club as they get older.

In rugby, no matter the age, rarely can one player take over or control a game. Rugby is a true team sport, that needs everyone’s participation, dedication, and teamwork in order to succeed as a team.

Each age group will work on age-appropriate skills, with the younger groups focused on fundamental movement skills, such as running and catching and passing. As you get older the focus becomes more on rugby specific skills, such as scrumming and rucking. No matter the team, teamwork will always be a big part of the program.
