Learn to Play Rugby – for FREE

January 25th, 2012

Youth Rugby is a process of developing rugby players from 1st grade through high school. It involves a pathway of development for the game. Youth rugby is for both boys and girls so come on and give it a try!

Aside from being FUN – rugby also lets you run, kick, pass and experience teamwork. It requires a lot of energy and it teaches children to think on their feet by playing a game that does not stop for time outs or breaks in play. Youth rugby also builds self confidence and camaraderie by participating in a sport where sportsmanship is not just a word, but is embraced and expected by the sport worldwide.

Best of all to participate is FREE!

1st-4th grade: Mondays from 3:25-4:30pm beginning January 30-March 19

5-8th grade: Thursdays from 5:30-7:00pm beginning February 2- March 22
