FAQ

Below are some frequently asked questions. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact the Regina Minor Rugby team at reginaminorrugby@nullgmail.com with any questions you should have.

Q: I don’t know any rules of rugby and my child has never played before, can they still register?
A: Absolutely, our coaches are trained in the rules of rugby and learning together with their peers is part of the fun.
While you are here, here is a little information to get your started! 
Rugby is a sport that goes above to teach character, respect, dedication, and teamwork. Players respect their team, their opponent, and officials. By its nature, rugby requires players to develop a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and loyalty. Through rugby, life-long friendships are created and valued by players of all ages and origins. It is widely seen as one of the most inclusive sports as everyone can play, whatever their size and skill level. As well, rugby doesn’t require a ton of equipment making it very accessible.
Two teams made up of 7, 10 or 15 players, which are divided into forwards, who tend to be the bigger and stronger players, and the backs, who are the faster and more agile players. Players can run and kick the ball, but can only pass it backwards.

Q: From what I know about rugby, it is a high contact sport, isn’t it too rough for kids to play so young?

A: Safety of your child is always important and our coaches teach the fundamentals of team work and safety at all times. Saskatchewan Minor Rugby began playing “flag rugby” which does not include scrums, line-outs and contact that you see in traditional rugby games. For more info please visit www.saskrugby.com.

Q: How long is a practice/game?
A: Youth will practice or play a game for 60+ minutes (longer times for older youth). This includes: warm-up, playing time and breaks.
A game is made up of two 40 minute halves.

Q: What equipment does my child need to play?
A: Minis – Shorts or pants that are easy to run, jump, roll and play in, a t-shirt or sweatshirt depending on weather, cleats and a mouth guard are necessary.  A water bottle and small towel are useful too to keep your mini cool and hydrated. This is the prairies, so don’t forget layers are sometimes key, and bug spray is sometimes a must.
