Vancouver Rogues Rugby Football Club

Since the weather's only just become nice, it's hard to believe that summer is half over and Bootcamp I has already come and gone. Bootcamp II will pick up where we left off, but also allow for new players to join. Whether you're new to rugby or just looking for a team to play with, Bootcamp is a great way to get (back) into the game and get to know the Rogues.

Rogues Rugby Bootcamp II kicks off Tuesday July 27th and runs:

Women & Men welcome. No experience needed. Bootcamp is perfect for beginners.

We’re thrilled to announce that we have a core group of guys committed to getting the Rogues Men’s team back up and running!

As Vancouver’s youngest rugby club (founded in 2002), the Rogues have a strong tradition of introducing new players to the game while maintaining a competitive spirit, training seriously and playing hard.

There are opportunities for men to play at all levels. If you have played before, you might be playing for the Rogues in an upcoming 7s tournament. If you are a beginner, you can join our popular Rogues Rugby Bootcamp. If you’re an old pro and would like to join a team with a developmental focus, we would love to have your skill and expertise.

The Rogues is truly a one-of-a-kind Rugby Club.
Don’t hesitate to contact us, come on out, join the team, and PLAY SOME RUGBY!

This year, a select group of superstar Rogues women will be playing in the 28th Annual SFU Highland Summer 7s Rugby Tournament!

Saturday, July 17th

Mark it on your calendar.
Let’s see if we can get a HUGE crowd out to support our amazing women!

The first week of Rogues Rugby Bootcamp has come and gone, but it's not too late to join. There were lots of new faces, and even some sunshine! Could it really be summer at last? Of course we started with a beep test (oh b*ep!) so that we can monitor our personal progress throughout the summer. We'll be focusing on building up our core and leg strength, improving our overall endurance, and engaging our muscles quickly and effectively for the rapid acceleration required in a game.

Don't forget to do some running on your own this weekend (20 minutes - alternating 1 minute running and 1 minute walking).
See you next week at bootcamp!

Q:
a) Haven't played since highschool?
b) New to town and looking for a team?
c) Or maybe you're an absolute beginner ...
A: Bootcamp is for you!

Rogues Rugby Bootcamp I kicks off Tuesday June 22nd and runs:

Whether you play rugby, dream of playing rugby,
or just want some free entertainment,
this is the must-see event of the Prom Season!

The Women of the Vancouver Rogues Rugby Club will be playing
Rugby in Prom Dresses again this year!

Congratulations to the Rogues Women for representing Vancouver at Penticton's annual Sunfest 15's tournament. Despite several injuries and scorching heat, they played hard and were awarded second place! With several new players having played their FIRST games this weekend, this is an astounding accomplishment. This tournament was the perfect example of the true talent and outstanding heart the Rogues women have.

The game was touted as the must-see event of the fall schedule and it didn’t disappoint. Whilst a number of changes were made at the last minute, every player adapted seamlessly.

The game started at pace with both teams trading possession as the ball was turned-over time-and-time again. Ivan Chiu, Rich Conaway and Cormac Sheridan’s synergy in the line, ensured Rogues dominance at the line-out with the majority of balls being secured and shipped to the backs via scrum-half, Stefan Sabo-Walsh, who had another solid game in this demanding position, which he’s making his own!

I remember watching a TV documentary on the New Zealand All Blacks. All the players talked about pride in the jersey and how once they put the jersey on it meant they brought their A game and nothing less. This same pride was shown last Saturday by all who donned the blue jersey. Passion and pride was demonstrated in all 80 minutes by every player on the field.
