Date: October 3 & 4,Rugby League BC has compiled a group of measured skills that align with the development of our Club players and Provincial teams, the Canada Wolverines and Ravens development.
RLBC will be hosting a skills and fitness Club Challenge where we can offer some League related competition and continue individual development in a competitive environment. All results from the event will be recognized by the Provincial and National teams, as well as the Ottawa Aces who are specifically looking for Canadian born talent to ensure the steady growth and longevity of the game within the Country.
Understandably, in these times it is hard for clubs to initiate group training sessions. We are hoping that by introducing this format of individuals skills challenges in a team style format will help encourage skill and fitness development and give us some form of competition this year.
The Competition will consist of a maximum of 7 men’s and 7 women’s representatives from each club competing in measured events against other clubs in the league. Events will be split over 2 days to ensure Provincial Covid-19 regulations are followed.
Players will need to register to attend official club sessions to record times. Clubs will use the times to choose representatives for each event. With registration, all players will receive a pre-season fitness program to ensure they will be physically ready when the time comes for us all to return to the field and start playing again.
