The Cumberland Valley Youth Rugby Association was founded in 2005 and kicked off
the inaugural season on June 25, 2005 with four teams of boys and girls aged eight
to twelve.  

The CV Youth Rugby Association plays non-contact Rugby, which helps youth to
develop the basic skills and sportsmanship required to play the sport.  

Non-contact Rugby is the most appropriate Rugby for elementary or recreational
players who are being introduced to the sport.

The 2006 season began with the CVYRA expanding from the original four teams in
2005 to having two separate divisions, consisting of six Junior Division (Boys and
Girls 8 to 10 years of age) and four Senior Division ( Boys and Girls 11 to 13) teams.  

For the 2006 season match play was moved from Creekview North Park to the Main
Hampden Township fields to allow the Senior Division teams to play on a larger field.
