TRAINING & GAMES SCHEDULE

Specific details about days and times for each program are listed below in the program-specific information. However, generally, practice / trainings are twice a week (either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesdays & Thursdays for the older groups), and games are on Saturdays at CRU. 

The U13-U15 season begins in late April (when the town opens the fields) and continues until the end of June.  There is no training in July and August. The season resumes at the of August and continues until the end of September.  Registrations are accepted at any point during the season. 

The U16-18 season begins June 11th and runs until the end of September. 

PLEASE NOTE: all training and game dates are weather-dependent. In the case of inclement weather, the town can close the fields. We will always communicate closures as soon as we can through Teamsnap, however the most direct way to find out the field status is to call the Town of Cochrane field status line at 403-851-2552 (option 2) after 4pm on the scheduled day of training or game. CRU (Calgary Rugby Union, where most games are played) very rarely closes but if they do decide to for whatever reason, notifications will generally go out the evening before.  In such cases, we will communicate via Teamsnap.
