Calling all Halifax kids
Rugby is fast-paced and fun for kids of every age. Our mini and youth programmes teach new skills, build healthy bodies and minds, make new friends, and have a lot of fun doing it.
From first steps to first tackles
Trying rugby for the first time, or anxious to get back on the field? We offer non-contact rookie and flag rugby for the little ones and a safe, structured introduction to contact for older kids.
- Early June to end of August at Graves-Oakley Memorial Park, 106 Leiblin Drive
- Coached by experienced Tars players and certified volunteer coaches
- Every registration includes Rugby Canada insurance and a Tars mini rugby shirt
- Siblings, parents and grandparents welcome on the sideline
Find your child’s group
Groups are set by birth year so kids play with and against players their own size and speed.
Programme names and birth years follow Rugby Nova Scotia’s 2026 youth pathway. Not sure which group? Ask us.
