Youth Rugby starts its 4th Season here!  

Edgewater is merging with Mayo & Riva Athletics and bringing its touch RUGBY program for boys and girls age 6-14

to

South River Youth Athletics!

 

·        Don’t know how to play?  We’ll teach you!  No experience necessary--the point of the program is to teach the sport and develop young players.

·        Who & where do you play?  We play against other clubs in the Potomac Rugby Union Youth League (PRUYL),

           including four other clubs in Anne Arundel County: Cape St Claire, Arden, Linthicum, & Severna Park.

·        When do we play?  Matches are scheduled on Saturday mornings and some Thursday evenings from mid-June through July. 

           The end-of-season tournament will be on July 31^st and August 1^st.

·        What about practice?  We’ll start out with practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from May 24^th-June 11^th,

          then Tuesdays & Thursdays from June 13^th through the end of July at our home pitch (field) at Edgewater Park.

·        What’s RUGBY like?  It started when a frustrated soccer player at Rugby College in England picked up the ball and ran with it! 

          Eventually, American football grew out of rugby—but rugby doesn’t stop for downs like football does,

          and players aren’t stuck at a position where they can’t score.  In rugby, EVERYONE gets to run with the ball and SCORE!

·        Are girls and boys on separate teams?  No, the teams in this league are co-ed. 

          Because this is Touch Rugby, size and gender aren’t significant factors.

·        What about age groups?  Age divisions will depend on enrollment.  We could have as many as a U-15, U-13, U-11, and U-9,

           but may have 10 and younger on a U-11 side and 14 and younger on a U-15 side. We’ll all practice together, and split up for some of the

           skill games we’ll play at practice.

·        What do I need?  Shorts, socks, cleats (without toe cleat) and a mouth guard.

·        What does it cost?  $90 will cover fees, registration & supplies--we’ll provide the balls and field equipment, everyone will get an

          SRYA Rugby tee-shirt to keep.
