***************
Bow Valley Rugby Club runs programs for ALL ages, shapes, sizes and genders. It offers a unique blend of indoor, non-contact rugby during the winter months and outdoor rugby in the spring and summer.

Focused as a community program, like soccer and baseball, community rugby provides a safe, friendly environment where kids can learn the basics of rugby: running, handling, passing, team work, positioning, communication and, where age appropriate, tackling and the more developed skills needed to play.
Rugby is the number one contact team sport in the world and has been played competitively for more than 120 years in Alberta. The Rugby World Cup is an international competition held every 4 years and enjoys the world’s second largest TV audience (behind the soccer World Cup) with more than 3 billion viewers. Rugby 7s is the latest team sport to be included in the Olympics debuting in 2016 in Brazil.
More high school athletes play rugby than any other team sport in the ASAA, across Alberta. Far from being a marginal sport, it is a global activity that players continue to enjoy for many years after leaving school and where they make friends for life.
Statistics demonstrate that rugby is a far safer sport than hockey and football, combined, and the cost is one of the lowest for team sport in Cochrane.
The outdoor, contact and tackle version of rugby has produced some outstanding results. Players have represented Alberta at the Under 16 and Under 18 levels 4 times in the last 6 years, with the Under 16 captain coming from Cochrane 3 times in the past 5 years.
In 2010 Brandon Harrison captained the team at Rugby Canada nationals while Mackenzie Tivendale and Rhys Davies were his predecessors in 2009 and 2008. In 2011, Dave Evans, a player who learnt his rugby with the Coyotes (latterly Bow Vally Rugby Club) and the combined Bow Valley/Cochrane High School team, made the Team Canada U17 team. Connor Turner, the son of our current Head Coach, Adrian, made the Team Canada U17 reserve team and now attends Shawnigan Lake School on Vancouver Island. Many other athletes from the Cochrane area and the Coyotes team have also gained Provincial honors in the period since Community Rugby was founded in 2005.
The goal of the organization is to encourage participation by the parents as well as the players and, opportunities to coach, and support the teams and program, are always open.

OUR CORE VALUES
ENJOYMENT
Enjoyment is the reason we play and support rugby union. We encourage players
to enjoy training and playing. We use our sport to adopt a healthy lifestyle
and build life skills. We safeguard our young players and help them have fun.
We enjoy being part of a team and part of the rugby family.TEAMWORK
Teamwork is essential to our sport. We welcome all new team members and include
all because working as a team enriches our lives. We play selflessly: working
for the team, not for ourselves alone, both on and off the field. We take pride
in our team, rely on one another and understand that each player has a part to
play. We speak out if our team or sport is threatened by inappropriate words or
actions.RESPECT
Mutual respect forms the basis of our sport. We hold in high esteem our sport,
its values and traditions and earn the respect of others in the way we behave.
We respect our match officials and accept our decisions. We respect opposition
players and supporters. We value our coaches and those who run our clubs and
treat clubhouses with consideration.DISCIPLINE
Strong discipline underpins our sport. We ensure that our sport is one of
controlled physical endeavor and that we are honest and fair. We obey the laws
of the game which ensure an inclusive and exciting global game. We support our
disciplinary system, which protects our sport and upholds it's values. We
observe the sport's laws and regulations and report serious breaches.SPORTSMANSHIP
Sportsmanship is the foundation upon which rugby union is built. We uphold the
rugby tradition of camaraderie with team-mates and opposition. We observe fair
play both on and off the pitch and are generous in victory and dignified in
defeat. We play to win but not at all costs and recognize both endeavor and
achievement. We ensure that the well-being and development of individual
players is central to all rugby activity.
