Registration Now Open For Doylestown Rugby Youth Flag Program

Doylestown Rugby Summer Youth Flag Program

The Doylestown Rugby Club is again offering a summer youth flag program for girls and boys in Pre-K to 8^th grade. Rookie Rugby is the introductory game for rugby in America. Kids will learn and compete in a simplified version of rugby played with flag belts. The rules and programs of Rookie Flag Rugby tie together child development, healthy activity, fair play, fun, and safety. Rookie Rugby is the official start of the player pathway for USA Rugby and is now played throughout the USA.

Rugby is played by over 120 million people, young and old, across six continents. Rugby was founded over 200 years ago and rugby 7’s is among the newest Olympic sports.

Doylestown Flag Rugby is a 7-a-side, non-contact flag form of rugby. Skills, including running, kicking, passing, space strategy, teamwork, and self-confidence, will be developed. Flag rugby requires lots of energy, and it teaches young athletes to think on their feet by playing a game that does not stop for time outs or breaks in play.

Practice begins in early June at the Maennerchor Field in Doylestown. For more information and to register for the Doylestown Rugby Club summer flag program, go to www.doylestownrugby.com
