Niagara Rugby & The Local Schools
The Niagara Wasps are honoured to be part of the beginning of many of the regional school's rugby programs. If you are interested in starting a rugby program at your school; please go to the "Contact Us" page and select "Schools". The secret to success of any school's rugby program is having the support of the administration and, most importantly, a champion for the sport as a member of the faculty. Our club is more than happy to offer support to this individual to not only start a rugby program, but also help build a long-lasting strong and successful tradition.
Rugby is one of the highest participated sports in Ontario offering boys and girls an opportunity to play one of the world's most popular sports which is played in over 100 countries. Countless schools worldwide introduce young children and adolescents to a very stimulating game that they can play for the rest of their lives at a local regional club or perhaps in any number of professional leagues.
Please help us update this section by going to the "Contact Us" page and selecting "Schools" to provide further additions and revisions.
Universities, colleges, and elementary schools will soon follow as well as American schools.
