Never played? You are in the right place.
Most of our players started never having touched a rugby ball. Here is how the game works, what a first practice looks like, and why rugby is one of the most welcoming sports your kid can try.
Run forward, pass backward
The ball moves down the field by running and kicking. You can only pass it sideways or back, so teammates support each other constantly.
The tackle and the ruck
When a player is tackled to the ground, they release the ball. Both teams compete to win it back. Only players on their feet can play the ball.
Scoring a try
A try is rugby's touchdown. You press the ball down over the line to score five points, then kick for two more. That green line in our logo? That is the try line.
We do not just allow different body types. We need them.
The forwards
Power, strength, and support. They win the ball back and protect teammates, from the front-row anchors to the tall locks who leap for the ball.
The backs
Agility, strategy, and finishing. They use space and speed to move the ball down the field, from the quick scrum-half to the sprinting wings.
Tall or small, fast or strong, brand new or a natural. There is a spot and a jersey waiting.
What happens at a first practice?
Warm-up, games, and the basics of passing and moving. Early sessions are non-contact, low pressure, and built so a brand new kid has fun on day one. Your first two weeks are free. How to register →
Is it safe?
Yes. Rugby is a controlled, technical sport. We teach shoulder-first, Head Up tackling, high tackles are forbidden, and we follow Recognize and Remove. If in doubt, sit them out. Our safety standard →
Does my kid need to know the rules?
No. We teach the basics from day one. At the youth level we focus on safety, fun, and the why behind the game before the finer laws.
What should they bring?
Cleats or sneakers, a mouthguard, water, and clothes to move in. We will tell you everything else once you register.
