HS BOYS RUGBY

Rugby Illinois is excited to announce our high school boys fall initiative. We are planning on four weekends (three of the four dates TBD) of no-club rugby.

Given the player limitations of most programs in the fall we intend to host a festival-style event where each player is placed on an age/skill-appropriate team.

Depending upon turn-out we will field frosh-soph, JV, and Varsity sides with maximal playing time. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, our first event is planned for September 21st at Commissioners Park; 3704 W 111th St. Naperville, 60585.

To participate please do the following:

  1. Register through Rugby Xplorer
  2. Complete and submit the participation form at https://rugbyillinois.org/hs-boys-fall-rugby/
  3. Contact your previous club or coach to conduct a couple contact sessions.

If needed, the Chicago Lions hold practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and you are welcome to join in to prepare for the 21st. Please contact Ahn Gallagher (a.gallagher@chicagolions.com) at the Chicago Lions for additional information.

One week prior to the first festival, we will send game time information and what color shirt to bring.

The first HS Boys Fall Festival is 9/21 at Commissioners Park, 3704 W 111th St., Naperville, IL 60585
