Rugby registration is open for our District 196 Girls and Boys high school teams.
- Our Varsity Girls are looking to defend their State Championship, and our Varsity Boys are looking to continue to rebuild after our 2021 State Championship and once again expect to compete at the top.
- 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 is the only spring sport that teaches safe and highly effective tackling to improve HS football player performance and avoid injury. We are an ISD 196 club sport, meaning Varsity players can earn their letter.
- Practice begins on March 1st (8:30PM @TCO Dome-Lakeville North) and the season runs through the end of the school year. More information, including registration links, may be found at https://www.eaasports.org/rugby.
