The skills and games included in this document are to be used as a guide to assist trained coaches at the NCCP Community Initiation level to teach the non-contact game with the principles of LTRD. Non-Contact rugby provides a safe and simple introduction to the game of rugby union. This guide has been developed to offer coaches working with young players in the non-contact game the opportunity to grow their knowledge and skills, and in doing so improve the experience afforded to young players entering the game. An early positive experience has been shown to lead to longer-term player participation. Non-Contact rugby introduces both the player and coach to the fundamentals of evasive running, handling and passing, as well as the basic rules and principles of the game of rugby union. Flag Rugby is a fast paced, fun game suitable for boys and girls. The invasion nature of the game provides opportunities for players to develop a basic understanding of the principles underlying rugby and other team sports such as Soccer, basketball and hockey.

    Rugby Canada AGE GRADE Law VARIATIONS FOR Community RUGBY Integrity ~ Respect ~ Solidarity ~ Passion ~ Discipline rugby.ca Vision & Mission Statement Vision To foster an inclusive, welcoming environment so that players of every shape, size, gender, age, ability, and skill level are able to participate in developmentally appropriate, controlled, competitive and enjoyable games. Use the game as the best teacher for teamwork, co-operation and respect between participants, coaches, players, officials, parents, and fans. Mission Use a player-centred, developmentally driven and competition supported model to continually assess, adapt and improve age and developmentally appropriate law variations across Canada. We seek to ensure integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect are central tenants for all considerations, decisions and variations made. Integrity – Respect – Solidarity – Passion – Discipline Mouth Guards Mouth guards are typically worn in contact sports to protect the mouth from injury. The purpose of a mouth guard is to distribute the impact of a contact situation evenly throughout the mouth, potentially reducing the chances of injury. Previous studies have indicated that the wearing of mouth guards reduces the incidence of hard and soft oral injuries, jaw fractures and neck injuries (Ranalli, 2000; Knapik et al, 2007; Newsome et al, 2001). A study in New Zealand rugby union has reported a 47% reduction in dental injury claims following the introduction of compulsory wearing of mouth guards (Quarrie et al, 2005). Age Grade
