Our Rookie Rugby team practices on Monday and Wednesday at Paulus Park beginning in mid-March. Games are played weekly on Sunday (some Saturday's) through April and May.

Rookie rugby is a non-contact version of the game of rugby that is played at the elementary school level.

It is never too early to start learning the wonderful game of rugby! Our touch rugby program starts with kids as little as 4 years old!
We plan on practicing twice a week - Monday and Wednesday at Paulus Park. Outdoor practices will start in mid-March.
