WHEN AND WHERE WE PLAY

All our programs train and play in Stamford. Youth teams (U8–U14) play other clubs throughout Fairfield County. High school teams play primarily in Fairfield County, with some matches in central Connecticut, downstate New York, northern New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Flag rugby generally takes place on Sundays, with some teams also practicing during the week. Tackle rugby includes regular weeknight practices and weekend matches. Schedules vary by team and season.

NEW TO RUGBY? YOU'RE WELCOME HERE.

Many of our players start with no rugby experience. Our coaches teach the game and help players build skills at their own pace in a positive, challenging environment.

Rugby is a team sport that combines running, passing, decision-making, fitness, and teamwork. Players of different sizes, strengths, and experience levels can find a role and contribute to the team.

FINANCIAL AID

We want every child to have the opportunity to play rugby, regardless of their family's financial circumstances. Need-based scholarships can reduce registration fees or, in some cases, cover them entirely. Requests are handled confidentially.
