Summer Rugby Kicks Off May 26! 🏉
It’s been a strong Spring season for our teams. While results didn’t always go our way, the commitment and passion were outstanding—thank you to everyone involved!
After a short break, we roll straight into Summer, kicking off Tuesday, May 26 at our regular Leo Field in Great Falls (behind the library, 9830 Georgetown Pike). Note the later start - gives everyone more time to get to practice on time.
Spring saw great action with 10s–15s for U12/U14 and 5–7s for our TAG teams. In Summer, we switch to 7-a-side rugby—a fast-paced format that builds speed, agility, and teamwork while pushing players’ fitness and decision-making.
