Who we are and what we do...
We offer 2 programs to get the best out of you - Rookie and Elite.
Whichever program you jump into, you are also free to change at any point. You might be thinking that you've only played for a few months so you join in the Rookie sessions but then find that you want to try and advance yourself because you're learning fast. On the other hand you might decide to join in with the Elite and find it is a little too advanced for you. All you have to do is speak with any of the coaches and you are free to move between programs at your leisure. We want to get the best out of you and we will be flexible with your abilities, we just ask you to be honest about them too.
306 Rugby Inc is a non-profit organization run by volunteers, every penny we make goes back into the program.

rookie programSo you want to learn something new...
Our Rookie program is specifically designed for beginners to the game. There is no doubt that Rugby is a complicated sport but our coaches will make it easily understandable by running you through the basics of the game and teaching you fundamental skills. Through this program you will learn how the game is played, how to play it safely and how playing Rugby can affect your everyday life. You will be matched up with others at the same ability level as you and we will never make you run before you can walk. Our coaching team will ensure that you will make friends, become more confident and discover what makes Rugby a way of life and not just another game. Unlike other costly sports, Rugby can be played a the beginning with just a ball and a pair of shoes. As we move on, you'll need a couple of things but a mouthgard and a pair of cleats is pretty much it, making Rugby a much more cost effective option than some of the other sports out there.

elite programSo you think you can play?
We have a team of dedicated coaches to make sure that the next time you take the field, people will say "wow, that kid can play" We will work on honing the basics skills as well as teaching you new techniques and introducing you to strategies in order for you to take your game to the next level. Whether you have goals of playing for your country or just want to improve your play for the next game, we can help. You will receive honest and specific feedback as well as picking up on the strengths of your game in order to build a better way for you to play. Rugby will take you as far as you take it, put in the hard work, be willing to listen and learn and the sky is the limit. The coaches at 306 Rugby have propelled athletes from the program forward into Provincial team programs, Regional programs and even Team Canada. If that is your goal then we will do all we can to make that happen, if you just want to improve your game or work on your specific position, we are here for you. |

This great Rugby Province has also produced some excellent female athletes of which have won silver medals at the Women's World Cup and played at on the World Sevens series. 306 Rugby is an athlete development centre that caters for boys, girls, 7s and 15s players.

What's our motivation? |
|
All of the great things we do in life, usually start from a young age. In my native country of Wales, we are taught to play Rugby from the moment we can hold a ball. It is no secret that the youth of today are the Internationals of tomorrow and we are here to develop, coach and guide them on a journey towards reaching their goals.
Some will have dreams of greatness, to go on to play for their Country, some are in need of some self confidence and others are looking for a way to escape a life of trouble. What ever your motivation, we will dedicate ourselves to making sure we deliver exactly what you need. |
"Rugby is much more than a game, it is a lifestyle"
"You don't make friends in Rugby, you gain family" These all might sound a little cliche but they are true, the best friends you will meet in your life are the ones you play Rugby with. There is an old British saying that says "Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen", this could not be farther from the truth, it is true that Rugby is a tough game and it is played hard but I guarantee you that it is far from a hooligans game. Rugby in my eyes is about having a great time with your best friends. |
Rookie to elite
|
Whether you have been playing for years and are looking to make it to the next level, or starting out with something new, we have a program for that. Our coaching team run sessions specific to your abilities.

DEDICATED ATHLETES |
|
Saskatchewan has one of the toughest climates on earth and the dedication our athletes give to the sport is second to none. We play when it snows and when it shines.
Of course when it gets too cold outside we retreat to the warmth of the indoors where we work hard on skills and tactics. We have developed excellent relationships with athletes of all ages and their parents, we want them to be assured that safety is the number one key in all that we do and we will never ask an athlete to participate in some they are either not ready for or do not want to do. In 2016/17 we held a total of 24 winter rugby sessions and had a combined attendance of 293 athletes. That works out to 586 hours of rugby training that would not have happened without our program. All of the players that participated in these saw a huge improvement in their game and the high school coaches have confirmed the increased level of ability. On top of this we arranged for 24 Strength and Conditioning classes for our athletes, free of charge. We have the saying, that: "Winter Training creates Summer Champions". |
TOP LEVEL COACHES
Our coaching staff is from far and wide, we have representatives from the UK and Canada and all of our coaches are involved in either Provincial Team Programs or Regional Team Programs so you know you are getting the best coaches in Saskatchewan.

We have been in the shoes of the athletes and know what they need to develop on and off the pitch. All of the coaches have the same goals, increase participation in our game and train our Elite to be successful. All are approachable and will be happy to help you in any way they can.

more than just rugby
We are focused on not only teaching skills and knowledge on the field but are in the business of moulding young adults into respectable, cultured and responsible human beings. We believe that we can have a positive impact on these young persons lives and we will always be there to help whenever needed irregardless of whether the matter is rugby related or not. We offer an open door confidential environment for our athletes to talk to us in confidence and work out any issues together - as a team!
One thing that moulds our young athletes is our annual rugby tour!
Every year around Easter we give the opportunity for 24 of our athletes to go on tour to not only gain rugby experience but to learn about other cultures and to bond with like minded individuals.
The 2017 tour took the team to Washington, DC. where they played in a 40 team tournament.
In 2018 the team traveled to San Diego, CA to play against some of the top universities in the district.
