HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY: Rugby registration is open for our Girls and Boys high school teams. No experience is necessary. In rugby, everybody plays, everybody carries the ball, and everybody tackles. Rugby suits all body shapes and sizes, and teaches explosiveness, decision-making, and agility. Rugby teaches safe and highly effective tackling, which makes it a perfect off-season sport for HS football players. As a school club sport, Varsity players may earn their letter.
Practice begins on March 2nd, which doubles as our "TRY RUGBY" day for potential new players who want to learn more before signing up. The season runs through the end of the school year. More information, including registration links, may be found at
