Important Information

Summer ROOKIE RUGBY Registration will open June 1st!

Rookie Rugby introduces the game of rugby in a safe way for kids of all ages. The game is a non-contact form of rugby, allowing players to learn the basics while being active and having fun with their friends. Rookie rugby is for kids entering Kindergarten through 5th Grade

Registration is $25 and comes with a Rookie Rugby tshirt

Practices start on  Tuesday and Thursday

There will be at least one scrimmage date with the Hmpfield Rookie Rugby Program.

Time: 6p to 7p
Location: Old Trolley Line Park 475 Beverly Rd, Elizabethtown, PA 17022

Here are 3 great reasons to play Rookie Rugby:

It’s Safe: We understand that safety is one of the primary concerns for both players and parents. Therefore, a non-contact version of the game is a great introduction that keeps kids safe, moving and having fun.
It’s Inclusive: Inclusivity is one of the core values at USA Rugby; therefore it is built into the Rookie Rugby program to ensuring that every child feels encouraged to pick up the rugby ball. 
Kids Love Rugby: Rugby has a special way of giving everyone the opportunity to run with the ball, pass the ball, and play defense. Because of this, kids walk away from a match feeling active and part of a team – feelings we want our children to have daily.
Register at www.rheemsaa.org. The cost is $25 and comes with a T-shirt. *No Fund Raisers
