Our programs are open to all Players, Coaches and Referees. All age groups, U6 to High School, boys and girls. Rugby here is a year-round sport! The main focus is on the Spring Session, which is from January (pre-season) to mid-May. This is 15-a-side for Tackle players, and the usual FIT Touch for the Tag players.
We are still fully committed to the Fall and Summer Sessions, which will be more focused on 7-a-side rugby, teaching & specialized coaching, clinics, special guests, small tournaments and a lot of fun!
As always, rugby is FREE TO TRY, feel free to come on out to give it a go for a few practices. And no, it is NEVER TO LATE TO JOIN!
