5 Reasons College Coaches Love to Recruit Multi-Sport Athletes
Flag & Tackle Teams for Boys & Girls
7th-8th Grade Boys Tackle
Our 7th/8th boys tackle team plays full-field, 15 player per side rugby. Boys with backgrounds in football, basketball, soccer, wrestling, track & cross country have skills that transition to rugby. Boys seeking a fast and physical crossover sport and with a high level of teamwork and camaraderie will find that in rugby.
2nd-4th Grade Co-ed Flag
Our coed team for boys and girls in grades 2nd-4th, plays a non-contact, 7-on-7 flag version of rugby on a half size field with modified rules. It’s a great introduction to the game that keeps our youngest players moving in non-stop action while introducing them to this exciting Olympic sport!
7th-8th Grade Girls Tackle
Our 7th/8th grade girls tackle team plays 7-on-7 rugby, the format played in the Olympics. Our girls’ team has been very successful in the past two years, claiming a State Championship in 2022 and a runner-up finish in 2023
5th-6th Grade Co-ed Tackle
Our 5th/6th grade coed team is the introduction to tackle rugby for both boys and girls. Kicking is added at this level but modified age-based rules, including a half size field, fewer players (10), uncontested scrums and no lifting during line-outs, keeps the focus on player development, safety and fast-paced game play.
“Ease your son or daughter into a contact sport that takes its time to teach them how to tackle (and be tackled), and how to do it safely. Teach your daughter a contact sport that is the same as the boys’ game. Teach them a game that will find them friends anywhere in the world. Teach them a game that won’t fire things at their heads, or make them hit things with their heads. Teach them a game where everyone gets a touch of the ball. And teach them a game that still thinks humility is a good thing.”

Rugby is a global game and Olympic sport played in over 120 countries by 9.1 million people, making it the second most popular sport in the world.

“I play rugby...because it’s an elegant and beautiful game, because of the people you can meet, because of the attitudes and camaraderie and personal growth. But there is...a reason that is more important than any of the rest - It’s so fun.”
Rugby's Values
In 2009 the World Rugby member unions identified integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect as the defining character-building characteristics of rugby. These are now collectively known as the World Rugby values and are incorporated within the World Rugby Playing Charter, a guiding document aimed at preserving rugby’s unique character and ethos both on and off the field of play.
