Welcome

NOTE: JAN 5th ACADEMY SESSION CANCELLED DUE TO ISSUES WITH ALGONGQUIN COLLEGE DOME ROOF.

---------------------------


The Blue Thunder Rugby Academy is up and running with approximately 50-75 young rugby players participating in our second great year at the Algonquin College Dome.

Participants can expect a great lineup of quality coaches for the program!

Members of the rugby community and Algonquin College have partnered to establish a rugby academy. The goal of the academy is to provide an opportunity for current rugby players to advance in their sport both at a fitness and a skill level.

Participants in the academy will be provided with instruction on weight training, fitness programs, nutrition programs and rugby skills in order to become better athletes and rugby players. Instructors in the program will be professionals and/or coaches who have extensive experience in their field.
