GAME READY

In compliance with Rugby Canada’s Play Smart Program, the Ottawa Ospreys RFC understands the importance to not only train hard on the practice fields, but also the importance to properly educate yourself in the sport of rugby. The information provided below is open to all players, members and volunteers to help cross educate on the safety of Rugby across Canada.

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that all players are protected and ensure the game is played safety. As of February 1, 2016, Rugby Canada implemented the PlaySmart Program, which recommends that everyone involved at all levels of the game complete the following:

• World Rugby Ready
• World Rugby Concussion Management for General Public
• Laws of the Game

Note: Coaches & Match Officials must complete these modules annually

There are several useful resources that we are encouraging all players, members and volunteers to review:

• Age Banding
• Injury Recording
• Gradual Return to Play
• World Rugby Concussion APP
• Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety), 2018, S.O. 2018, C.1-Bill 193
• World Rugby Heat Guideline
• World Rugby Lightning Safety Guideline
• Responsible Coaching Movement
• Provincial Health Lines
• Keep Rugby Clean
• CCCP – Commit to Kids for Coaches
