What Is Youth Rugby?

 

Youth rugby is a process of developing rugby players from kindergarten through high school players. It involves a pathway of development from small 7 a side non-contact "touch" rugby for young players, through to full 15 a side contact rugby for high school level teams. Youth rugby is for both boys and girls. Southern California Youth Rugby offers programs for all ages and all levels of play.  Come give it a TRY!

Why Play Youth Rugby?

The main reason to play youth rugby is because it is FUN!

Running, kicking, passing, and teamwork are a few of the things you will  experience in this fast growing sport.

It requires lots of energy and it teaches children to think on their feet by playing a game that does not stop for time outs or breaks in play. 

Youth rugby also builds strong self confidence and camaraderie by participating in a sport where sportsmanship is not just a word but is embraced and expected by the sport worldwide. For more answers to your question click here for our SCYR youth rugby FAQ's.
