The Georgian Grizzlies men's rugby team has announced its tryout dates for the 2021-22 season.

To be eligible for a varsity team you must be a registered full time Georgian student at any one of Georgian College's seven campuses. Lakehead University students who are in an integrated program at Georgian are also eligible to compete but must declare the institution they wish to represent prior to tryouts or workouts.

To be eligible you must be fully vaccinated by Aug. 30, 2021 and 14 days must have passed since your last vaccination, of a Health Canada-approved COVID-19 vaccine or World Health Organization-approved COVID-19 vaccine.

If the student is not fully vaccinated by this date, they will only be allowed to participate in tryouts and training if the following criteria are met:

1. You have at minimum one dose of a two-dose vaccine, or
2. You have had two doses of a vaccine but 14 days have not yet passed, or
