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!

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!
