TRURO SAINTS 2023 Mini and youth RUGBY PROGRAM
Mini and Junior Programs
We are proud to offer two non-contact mini age groups, our Active Start/ FUNdamentals Mini Program for ages 5-7 and our Learn to Train Mini Program for ages 8-11, and one junior introduction-to-contact age group, our Train to Train Junior Program for ages 12-15. Our programs are designed around the Sport Nova Scotia long-term athlete development stages, in order to build proficient physical literacy in young players, and set all players up to be active for life. This program runs weekly, on Thursday nights from 5:30-6:30pm at the Truro Saints Rugby Park.
We are excited to offer this program as one of the most cost-efficient summer rugby program in the province. Although we are proud to operate as a non-profit program, we heavily rely on community-based grants and sponsorship. If you, or someone you know is interested in becoming a sponsor of the Truro Saints Mini Rugby Program, please contact saintsjuniordevelopment@gmail.com.

History
The Timbits Rugby program was established approximately ten years ago, by local business owner and rugby enthusiast, John MacKenzie. John led the program for many years, in tandem with the Cobequid Educational Centre Girls Rugby Program. This created countless leadership opportunities for many young women, leading many down the path of a life-time of volunteer coaching. The program has taken many forms over the years, from an afterschool program, to a summer program, to a winter program hosted on turf fields. Our current Timbits Rugby Program is a nine-week summer program, running from June-August.
The Truro Saints Rugby Club is proud to have a bountiful program that engages so many young people in Colchester County.
