Predators Rugby
Predators Rugby represents Central Alberta’s best at the Alberta Regional Competition (ARC) 7s and 15s tournaments.
The competition creates opportunities for players who stand out in the high school league to pursue higher-level competition against Calgary, Edmonton, and Southern Alberta’s best. The tournament acts as a stepping stone for players on the way to represent Alberta at the Western Championships. Over the years many Predators alumni have gone on to represent Central Alberta in provincial, university, and national programs.

Community rugby
Community Rugby is an new initiative to provide introduction based rugby programs in municipalities across Central Alberta. Using small-side games, community rugby will focus on developing core skills for new players looking to play rugby.
Rugby Union is a difficult and intimidating game to start playing. Therefore, ORCA's Community Rugby program provides new players the opportunity to learn the basic skills and rhythm of the sport through small-side, contact and non-contact versions of game. Small-sided games (4v4 up to 8v8) have proven to be effective in developing skills with more catches, passes, tries, tackles, rucks and more PARTICIPATION!
Community rugby will also provide a platform for rugby enthusiasts, parents, and promotors to bring rugby into the smaller communities within Central Alberta.
