Flag Rugby
Non-Contact (Flag) Rugby Summer
Ridgewood Area Youth Flag Rugby is offering non-contact "touch" (flag) rugby program for boys and girls entering grades K through 9 this June and July. Teams are divided into four age groups:
- Owls: Entering K and 1st
- Falcons: Entering 2nd and 3rd
- Hawks: Entering 4th, 5th and 6th
- Eagles: Entering 7th 8th and 9th
Our Flag rugby program is in its 13th year. Since many of the kids are relatively new to the fast-growing sport of Youth Flag Rugby, the focus is on developing skills, teaching the game of rugby, and learning proper technique.
Skills including running, kicking, passing, space strategy, teamwork, and self-confidence are developed. The skills learned in rugby are complimentary to other sports.
In Flag Rugby players play on teams of 7 to 9 players, in two fast ten-minute halves. There are multiple games at each level each weekend. The players get a really good workout every practice and tournament.
Costs
$145.00 Registration Fee (Shirt Included), $25.00 for flag rugby shorts - $290.00 family max
Matches/Tournaments
Each weekend we play multiple games in a tournament format (entire club plays at the same location each weekend). Tournament are played Saturday mornings 9AM to Noon beginning June 23rd to July 21st.
