Principles Behind The Game

Perrysburg Youth Rugby offers programs for 5th through 8th Grade students.  Players come together for academy-style training and are divided up into teams for games.

• This is a recreational league for the community!  All kids will play.
• Safety above all else.  This is the thread woven through the fabric of everything we do.
  • Step by step learning full 7s rugby (Olympic game)
  • Begin with flag/two-hand touch and slowly progress to full contact
  • Line outs, scrumming, rucking are introduced progressively as players are ready
  • Coaches are certified through USA Rugby
• Sportsmanship
  • Respect all players in action and word
  • Do not speak negatively to each other
  • Do not hurt each other
  • What is REAL winning?
• Teamwork.  Rugby is unique as play develops on the field and is controlled by the players

The season begins at the end of March and runs through mid-May.
