Local men in Grande Prairie can learn a new sport this month as the Grande Prairie Centaurs rugby team starts free training sessions on March 12, 2026. These Try Rugby events are designed to help residents get active and meet new people while learning the basics of the game.
The weekly sessions will take place every Thursday evening from 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm at the J.D.A. County Sportsplex. Organizers say that no previous experience with the sport is necessary to join the practices.
Participants will use the indoor turf field at the facility, which allows the team to train during the late winter season. These sessions are intended to help potential players prepare for the upcoming outdoor rugby season that begins later in the year.
The initiative focuses on providing a welcoming environment for men looking for a new hobby or a way to improve their fitness. By offering the sessions for free, the club hopes to make it easier for community members to try out the sport without any upfront costs.
