Our U16 & U18 junior boys program welcomes all players no matter your skill level, however, as we reach these age grades those new to the game who have a high level of athleticism and/or have played other sports competitively, have a more seamless transition. We play full contact and our program is designed to introduce and transition athletes from other sports who are new to the game of rugby, as well as develop our long-term rugby athletes who go on to play on one of our three Nomads Mens’ teams. Our coaching staff will identify those players who are interested and capable of continuing their player pathway beyond our club team to compete for spots on university and college teams, Provincial and National level teams and Elite (Rep) 7s international travelling squads.Graduates of Toronto Nomads junior boys programs have gone on to play for the Canadian national 15s and 7s teams.

Our coaching team  strives to give each athlete the personalised attention needed to develop their game, however coaches expect players to be dedicated to their own personal fitness between practices and games which will impact selection to each weekend’s playing squad and prevent injury.

Our focus is to foster an environment where athletes apply core values in both rugby and life such as respect, honour, discipline, integrity, teamwork and accountability. We aim to teach and develop all core and essential skills and understanding of the game and to create a fun and engaging place to connect and grow as a person and an athlete.

This age group begins once a week with pre-season training (February-April) and plays full 15 a side rules with weekly games and 2 practices per week in the summer beginning in May.  The 7s season begins in the fall and runs in tournament style on weekends.

Toronto Nomads Juniors strive to be a club that is welcoming to all and prides itself on building a strong sense of connection between all of our juniors teams through club activities and a fun club culture beyond the field.
