Junior High School Rugby

First Annual Grade 7/8 T1 Flag Rugby Festival

Newfoundland rugby is excited to bring rugby to junior high schools in the greater St. John’s region. This is a new form of non-contact rugby to introduce the sport in a safe,
fun, and inclusive environment to boys and girls in grades 7 and 8.


The 2026 T1 Flag Rugby Festival will be a two-day event (May 23rd/24th, 2026) hosted at the new Fortis Canada Games Complex.

  • Day 1: Round-robin and qualifying matches
  • Day 2: Playoffs featuring Tier 1 and Tier 2 brackets
  • All teams will play on both days guaranteeing two fun-filled days of rugby

The inaugural Grade 7/8 Flag Rugby Festival will be co-ed and free of charge for all participating schools thanks to generous funding from Rugby Canada and the dedication of many local volunteers.
