Rookie Rugby is a NON-CONTACT sport intended for boys and girls grades K-4. This program will teach your children the game of rugby in a positive environment.
Consists of separate U15 (grades 7 and 8) and U13 (typicaly grades 5 and 6) squads. Some 4th graders do participate in U13. Contact Elmhurst Rugby if you have questions whether your child should try contact or non-contact rugby this season.
Consists of U19 (grades 11 and 12) and U17 (grades 9 and 10) squads. It is not co-ed, but we will combine teams or refer elsewhere for any interested girls. Contact us before registration as we are still re-building our high-school program post COVID.
Access Rugby is a NON-CONTACT program specifically designed for athletes with disabilities, including boys and girls ages 5 - 23. The program involves modified rugby drills and skill-based games mixed with occupational therapy related activities. Learn more about our Access Rugby program.
