Why Play Winter Rugby as a non high school athlete?

• For U14 Boys transitioning to high school football: Get a taste of the competition you'll face at the next level.
• For younger girls: Experience playing against other girls-only teams rather than coed. Our current HS Girls team is setting the standard for what rugby culture is all about, and this is a fantastic opportunity for younger players to learn from their leadership.

1. What do I need to buy in order for my child to play? Mouthpiece, Cleats, and Shorts
2. Can my child use his soccer or football cleats? Yes, just make sure they are in good condition and fit properly  
3. I have several children that want to play, will the games be located in different places? Most of the games are all together in the same place. Some games, especially for older athletes, will be in a different location. Rugby is family and family offers rides! 
4. My child knows nothing about rugby, can he compete? Yes, effort makes all the difference in performance 
5. Is rugby safe for my child? Yes, statically safer than football. Rugby players don't wear protective equipment. Thus the rugby player doesn't have the same disregard for the safety of his or her head, neck, and shoulders when tackling or trying to break through a tackle
