That was the word, V.J.”s XV was going to be a true Barbarian side and play Festival Rugby!

This is an ad, but it is still something that all Rugby players should be conscious of. So we thought we would publish it for you to read and be aware of.
“Concussions, the number 1 topic surrounding sports in recent years are very prevalent within the sport of Rugby. You should be aware of a new research-based program across the GTA (5 clinic locations) to deal specifically with the issue of concussions in youth sports from the level of the association.
10-20% of your athletes will get a concussion this year, making this the single most prevalent injury. Please take the time to consider implementing this program to keep your athletes safe and help them recover quicker! Why risk it?
Take a look at the brochure from the Complete Concussion Management Team, and if you think that you would like them to visit the club, please email us at vpgame@lindsayrugby.com
