One Abbotsford athlete’s creativity will be on display this summer as young rugby players from all across the province gather to build up their skills at the U15 Build a Bear Camp.
Samatha Grewal is a member of the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club and was one of two B.C. youth athletes to create winning designs in BC Rugby’s Design a Rugby Jersey contest.
The competition had more than two dozen entries, with Grewal and United Rugby’s Leila Picard being chosen as the winners.
Grewal’s design features a white background with the BC Bears logo in the upper corner and surrounded by streaks of the organization’s signature gold and dark blue colours.
This custom jersey will go from paper to the pitch this summer as part of the Build a Bear Camp, which trains top male and female U15 rugby athletes.
BC Rugby said these camps are meant to prepare young athletes for future BC Bears pathways through lessons on basic nutrition, Olympic lifting, speed training, kicking progressions, and other skill executions.
