Rugby wrap

The 2020 Terrace Rugby program is underway with over 540 players and 30 teams pulling on the red and black butcher stripe jersey. Non-contact training commenced last week for boys aspiring to play A/B rugby with the remainder of the boys joining the program at the mid-year Player Readiness clinic.

The Rugby program is once again committed to offering a safe and well-structured environment with a focus on participation, enjoyment and the opportunity to learn. In doing so the program provides boys, coaches and referees with a strong framework for improvement and abundant opportunity to develop the key elements of rugby. 

Please note the below June – July Holiday information to assist with your planning.
