(WHITBY, ON) - Rugby Ontario is providing an update regarding Training & Education events for the remainder of the 2021 season. With the recent move to Step 3/Phase 4 and the staged return of contact rugby programming, Rugby Ontario are currently coordinating a limited return of Training & Education events for the remainder of 2021. Rugby Ontario are cognizant of the need for Training & Education events within the community, specifically coach and match official courses. For the remainder of 2021, we will be working towards coordinating at least one course (Coach and Match Official) per Branch. Our current primary focus is providing Level 1 courses (NCCP Community Initiation/World Rugby Level 1 and World Rugby Match Official Fifteens Level 1). 

As details are finalized and 2021 courses are confirmed, with capacity limits determined, full information will be provided to the community so that interested individuals have the opportunity to register and participate. All course registrations will be hosted on the Rugby Canada Training & Education site.  

As a reminder, Training and Education events include the following: 

Coaching courses 


* Community Initiation/World Rugby Level 1 


* Competition Introduction/World Rugby Level 2 


* World Rugby Coaching Sevens Level 1 


Match Official courses 


* World Rugby Match Official Fifteens Level 1

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this entire experience. Rugby Ontario will continue to monitor the Provincial Government’s response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the impact that has on our programming. We will provide updates as more details are released.
