Arlington Youth Rugby provides both boys and girls in grades 7 and 8 a fun and safe
opportunity to learn tackle rugby. Our USA Rugby certified coaches safely manage the
transition from non-contact to contact rugby. Safety is paramount and participants are taught
the fundamentals of tackle rugby using tackle pads or donuts, before progressing onto tackle
drills with teammates and eventually into competitive games, only as they are ready.
Participants learn the importance of teamwork and respect for opponents, coaches and
referees. No previous experience is required.
Rugby is the fastest growing collegiate sport in the USA with an increasing number of schools
and community clubs in New England offering rugby at various levels.
Players must register with USA Rugby registration (not included). This will additionally allow players to participate in inter-club joint training sessions, games and tournaments in the Greater Boston area during the MYRO (Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization) spring and summer seasons.
