It is not surprising that rugby players all over the world are taking part in the season. Here are seven Bay of Quinte products who made the grade.
The first round of the championship saw the likes of the Loyalist Lancers, the Kingston St. Lawrence Vikings, the Peterborough Fleming Knights and the Oakville Sheridan Bruins all gracing the pitch. However, there are a few big names that are not on the right side of the draw. Even the Loyalists didn't manage to crack the scoreboards during the initial stages.
In terms of the most coveted trophy, the top honours go to the man who's name is emblazoned on the top of the Loyalists's shirt. That man is former Leinster stalwart James Lowe, and he has a ton of points on his mantle.
Except for the fight with the winger mentioned, there were some notable performances from the region’s top guns. In particular, the Loyalists' scout hat was a sight to behold, albeit one that may not be for the faint of heart. While it may not be a home run, it is still an impressive feat for the team.
The Loyalists’ newest member had its moments, even if there were some mistakes. Among the more memorable were the impressive score by Christine Vandertoorn, and the bruising blowout by Britt Whiting. Amanda Blair's show was the best. Although she was named the OCAA female player of the week, it was the kicking that won the day. Blair took advantage a cold wind to kick three penalty kickes while also winning the player of week award.
There were many impressive feats that could be found in both the men's and ladies' leagues of the OCAA. Although it's not unusual to see teams named "Jackson" or "Jake", such names might be better kept in the shadows. "George North" (and "George Davidson") were both injured and had to miss Round 2, while "Geoff Farrar” and "Gabe Davidson” stayed home for victory. The Vikings, as well as the Lancers, each won. Their names are still unknown for the other contenders.
But, the OCAA's men's leagues are a different story. Despite losing their last two games, the reigning champs have been shown by the OCAA that the Vikings or Lancers can show the world they aren't confined to Kingston. The scores they have accumulated this season show that they have made significant moves. Considering they're only a few rounds into the competition, they have the chance to nab a top-four finish and claim the elusive top spot. They'll be back in their winners' circle next year if they keep their heads down.
It is possible to also assume that other OCAA men’s league competitors will be trying for this title.

How can you learn parkour skills
Parkour is a free running technique where people run through obstacles such as walls, buildings, fences, trees, etc. It is one of the most well-known sports, with millions of participants all over the globe. Parkour can be done in many ways, including freestyle, wall climbing and obstacle courses, urban exploration, rescue, freerunning and urban combat.
Any activity that increases your health and physical fitness can be called fitness. This could include going to the gym, exercising cardio, or simply walking. Parkour is considered a sport since it requires athletes to use their body strength, speed, balance, coordination, and agility.
Here are some tips for parkour beginners:

Places that can cause injury or stairs should be avoided. Flat ground is best, so avoid hills. However, if you have the ability to climb up a tree then do so.

Wear proper footwear, like shoes made from rubber or leather. Try them all to find the one that feels right for you. The right shoes are crucial for a successful parkour session.

You can bring water bottles or snacks with you to keep hydrated during practice sessions.
-
Warm up before starting any parkour sessions. This means you should warm up your muscles before jumping into the action. Start slow and build intensity slowly until your muscles feel fully warmed up.

When jumping, don't rely on your legs or arms too much. Instead, focus on your core strength and back muscles when jumping.
-
Don't push yourself too much; take breaks every once in a while. This will allow you to rest and recover after a workout, without getting hurt.
-
While practicing parkour, listen to music. Music helps to relax and help you concentrate.

Stretch your muscles and joints after each session to prevent injury.

When you are exercising in public, make sure to keep your hands clean. You won't endanger another person by doing this.
