About the Club

Foothills Lions Rugby’ was first established as the ‘Okotoks Rampant Lions’ in the 1970’s and continued as a division three men’s team until 1995. The division three men’s team was re-established in 2010 and had a very successful year which took them all the way to the playoffs.

In 2005, with the community growing strong, Joe Buck introduced the junior rugby program. He fielded a U-13 division team and now, with his commitment, the club is proud to have established one of the strongest youth programs in Alberta.

The Lions youth program now includes mixed programs for U-7 and under, as well as U-11, and continues the boys programs for U-13, U-15, and U-17 divisions. As our club grows, we look forward to introducing a girls program for the U-13, U-15 and U-17 divisions.
