Rugby Ontario has updated the laws of the game for 2017. This is a regular procedure every year, and we encourage every player and parent to review the documents to make sure everyone is aware of the expectations and laws for a safe and successful season.
Here are the key documents that you should review prior to this year's season.
As always, please approach any club official or coach if you have any questions about the interpretation or application of these rules.
