Return To Play

Rugby is back! Rugby Ontario has created the Rugby Ontario Return to Play plan to help reintroduce our members back into rugby in a safe manner.

This plan is structured around mitigating risks through five (5) Phases of gradual easing of restrictions based on government-ordered public gathering and physical distancing restrictions, and are distinct from the Government of Ontario’s Stages of the Reopening Ontario framework. The Rugby Ontario Return to Play Phases are based on the following:

Maximum number of people permitted to gather at any one time (in accordance with public health requirements and/or Emergency Orders).
Physical distancing required between any two people not of the same household.
Limiting rugby touch points between any two people not of the same household ( in accordance with public health requirements and/or Emergency Orders).
