KES Rugby – Excellence You See Everyday

Playing for the King’s–Edgehill Rugby Club

When you play Men’s Rugby at KES, you join a brotherhood. A vast majority of our players enter our programme with little to no formal rugby training. By the time they graduate, most of our players will have a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that will allow them to contribute to a university or club team.

Rugby has a proud tradition spanning two centuries at our school. Our graduates treasure the memories and the strong friendships that were formed from competing together on our First XV. Some of our graduates have gone on to win university and club titles. Other players have played for Nova Scotia at the Canada Games. A rare few have been selected to play for U17 Canada. Once you have played rugby for the First XV at King’s-Edgehill School, the sport will become part of who you are.

Younger and less experienced players are given opportunities to develop their talents on our Second XV or U16 sides. A handful of these players are promoted to the First XV once they have displayed the maturity and consistency in practice and competition.

When you join our rugby club, you are making a commitment to all of our members that you will:

• fulfill your classroom responsibilities;
• conduct yourselves in a professional manner in and around the School;
• give your maximum effort in fitness training, practice and competition;
• and commit yourself to winning as a team.

If you are ready to make that commitment, we strongly encourage you to play rugby with us.
