2012 Spring Season Details
Age groups
U-9 (ages 7-8) coed flag rugby -- versus other U9 kids/teams
U-12 (ages 9-11) coed flag rugby -- versus other U12 kids/teams
U-15 (boys age12-14 tackle rugby) -- controlled scrimmages versus other U15 kids/teams
U-19 (boys age 15-18 tackle rugby) -- matches versus high schools and other U19 teams
Depending on the age, weight, experience, and comfort level of each player in both the U15 and U19 programs, SAFETY is the first priority for coaches, parents and players in these age groups.
Like any contact sport, tackle rugby does pose a risk of injury to anyone who plays. However, coaches are committed to ensuring kids learn proper and safe techniques that reduce the risk of unnecessary injury, and that kids are not put in situations where they are playing against teams that are signficantly bigger and stronger.
