High school Rugby

The Assassins Rugby Football Club has been committed to high school rugby in the province of Manitoba for decades and it continues to be a priority of the club. The club stands behind the collective belief that there is nothing better than introducing a teen or young adult to the sport that provides so many competitive and social opportunities. Rugby is a life-long sport and the Assassins RFC would like nothing more than to introduce young athletes around the province to the best sport in the world. Recruits drawn from these high school programs are a key component that has driven both the success of the Womens and Mens sides that the club fields to this day. In total the club is affiliated with 12 programs in the city of Winnipeg. Current and Assassin Alumni make up the coaching staff in high schools across the city. Beneath is a breakdown of the high schools that the Assassins RFC are affiliated with for 2020 with each program’s coaching staff:
