On Tuesday, May 31, the Toronto Arrows will spend the day with our club community partners at Variety Village in Scarborough.

This Community Rugby Day allows rugby fans to watch the team as we open the doors to the public to attend our team practice.

The day provides many opportunities to get involved, including an open practice for fans to watch at Birchmount Stadium, a ‘try it’ session where fans can give the sport a go, and the opportunity to enjoy a BBQ with the 2022 Toronto Arrows playing squad.

Please note: The open practice at 1:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m. is open to the public.

The mixed ability try it session and the end-of-day BBQ are ticketed events. You MUST be registered to attend!

The Community Rugby Day schedule is as follows:

1:30 p.m.  2:30 p.m. – Open practice at Birchmount Stadium grass field
2:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. – Mixed ability rugby try-it session
4:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. – Community BBQ
