Welcome to RISE Rugby!
We’re a youth tackle rugby program for children aged 3rd to 6th grade, focused on developing young athletes, coaches, and referees alike. Our season starts just after the winter club season, giving athletes a chance to continue playing rugby into the spring while strengthening their skills and deepening their enjoyment of the game.
Our concept is a little bit different. We will:
01
Play at the same time and place each Sunday.
02
Evaluate our players at a Week 1 combine and split into evenly matched teams, in grade-based divisions (i.e. 3rd graders play with 3rd graders only, and so on).
03
Assign your child one college-aged coach, and one high school-aged coach, all of whom are current players at excellent schools / clubs.
04
Watch the next generation learn from the current generation.
The result? A heck of a lot of learning, RISING, from everyone on the field.
Players learning how to play, right along with young coaches that are cutting their teeth coaching. The future of the game, unfolding right before our eyes.
Between us, we have decades of experience coaching kids aged 5 to 25. But perhaps more importantly, we’re also a seasoned club administrator (Alex) and sports-industry business professional (Scott) who believe that now is the time for something new.
Ultimately we founded RISE Rugby for our kids, for your kids, and for everyone who wants to be part of the RISE of Rugby.
