Just cleats and a mouthguard! Both football and soccer cleats are acceptable.

The Lake Zurich Maulers plan to start their inaugural season in mid-March of 2025 with the season going through April and into early May. Additional details will be sent out to parents of participants as we get closer to March.

A maul is a phase of play within rugby where one or more players from each team are in physical contact close around the ball. A maul is formed off the ground, with participating players standing on their feet. Keep in mind that maul's are not a part of the flag rugby game!
