A New Rugby Year Begins – Join Us This Fall!

The New Rugby Year runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. Our year has 3 seasons: Fall, Spring and Summer. Our current Season is the new Rugby Year 2026-2027 - FALL SESSION from 19 September.

Our 2026–2027 Rugby Year kicked off with our Fall Season on Saturday, September 19 in Great Falls and we are so excited to welcome both returning and new players to another year of fun, friendship, and rugby.

What to Expect This Fall

Coed TAG Rugby for our youngest players.
Full-contact 7-a-side rugby for our tackle age groups.
Weekly training focused on skills, teamwork, confidence, and game understanding.
Weekend matches and tournaments throughout the season.

The fast-paced 7s format is an excellent way for players to develop speed, agility, decision-making, fitness, and all-round rugby skills while enjoying plenty of game time.

We’re gearing up for our biggest event of the year — the MedStar 7’s Benefit Tournament — at an exciting new location, with plenty of rugby, fun, and surprises in store! This year it will be on Saturday 14 November in Reston.

New Players Always Welcome! Whether your child has never picked up a rugby ball or has years of experience, there's a place for them at Great Falls Youth Rugby. Our programs are open to boys and girls of all ages and abilities, and we pride ourselves on providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every player can thrive.

It is never too late to join—and it's always FREE to try!

We're also always looking for coaches, referees, and parent volunteers to become part of our rugby family.
