Rugby Ohio Youth Programs

Principles Behind Our Youth Programs
We guide our players to help build confidence on and off the field to not only be great student-athletes but also help them reach their fullest potential. Our game of rugby exhibits the following core values:
  1. Safety is our priority: Everything we say and do revolves around the safety of our players and staff. All coaches are certified through USA Rugby.
  2. Fun: Our programs are all about fun, competitive play where kids are encouraged to make decisions for the team and themselves.
  3. Equal Play Opportunity: All children have equal playing time regardless of skill set.
  4. Sportsmanship: We teach our players at a young age to respect the game and their opponents.
  5. Teamwork: We have more fun when we safely collaborate as one.

Fun for All
Our league structure is designed for boys and girls ages 5 to 14. There are non-contact (flag), modified contact (tackle) and, full contact (tackle) programs available depending on the age group. Crossover age groups may apply. Please contact info@rugbyohio.com if you have any questions about which option is best for your child.
