Now that we’ve all received some much needed positive news on the easing of restrictions, Peak Ambition are excited to bring rugby back to the communities of the Greater Bragg Creek area, continuing the "rucking good time" events and sessions from last Fall. We have vast experience in the wonderful game of rugby, from grassroots all the way through to playing professionally and at senior men's International team level and are passionate about seeing new players introduced to the sport.
The community sessions will be non-contact and fully covid compliant, focusing on fun, ball skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, evasiveness and agility. All sessions are free so come and give it a "try"!! @rugbyalberta @bowvalleygrizzlies @canucksrugby @calgaryhornetsrugby @calgarysaracens @calgarysaints @calgaryirish @calgaryrugby @rookierugbyalberta @dinoswrug @visit_bragg_creek @braggcreekcommunityassociation

We're excited to share that Redwood Meadows Townsite have started work on developing the multi-sport pitch at Curtis Field in Redwood Meadows.........this facility and adjacent Redwood House will be home to most Peak Ambition events and programmes.
Located where the Prairies meet the Rocky Mountains in a beautiful foothills location (altitude 1250m), Redwood Meadows sits on Tsuu T'ina First Nations land along the banks of the Elbow River, an area of high value habitat, wildlife and biodiversity.
Nearby is the charming hamlet of Bragg Creek which offers direct access to Kananaskis Country Provincial Park and the wilderness of the Rockies. The Hamlet is home to artisans and a range of unique boutique stores and pubs/eateries and forms part of the fabled Cowboy Trail (Highway 22) which runs north/south through Alberta alongside the Eastern slopes.
Come and visit, you won't be disappointed!! https://www.facebook.com/Townsite-of-Redwood-Meadows-AB-120704654661849

Hello everybody,
This is a brief introduction to the individuals behind the exciting new rugby concept, Peak Ambition.
To begin. Richard Smith is an ex Welsh international, and professional player in the UK. In addition, following his move to Canada he became the director of rugby for the Calgary Canucks.
Secondly, Adrian Turner. Adrian was an amateur player in the UK, level 2 coach (RFU/NCCP). Following Adrian’s move to Canada he became a co-founder of Bow Valley Rugby Club in Cochrane, AB. Later becoming president of the club.
In addition to rugby, both Richard and Adrian have passions for the outdoors. Trail running, hiking, mountain biking, Ironman, and dog sledding.
Utilizing the excellent facilities of Redwood Meadows and Bragg Creek we will strive to create an empowering environment for all young players of all levels through community programs and summer camps.
