At Orca Youth Rugby everyone is welcome! We train boys and girls ages 10 to 19 (U12 to U18) to play one of the toughest and most enjoyable sports in the world: RUGBY! Rugby has a place for all body types: small and fast, big and strong, tall or short. Although rugby is popular around the world, it is new to many in the U.S., so at the beginning of each season we start from the beginning. Even though it looks like chaos to begin with, after a few weeks of practice and a game or two, even beginners “get it” and have a lot of fun!
