LIONS RUGBY--FOR KIDS WHO WANT A LITTLE MORE ACTION!!

CONGRATS LIONS ON 3RD PLACE AT THE COMMENWEALTH GAMES!!!
On Saturday, August 1, your young Lions  (da utes) traveled to Springfield to play in the Coventry Commonwealth Games where they posted a tournament record of 2-1 and brought home the 3rd place hardware. The only loss was against Springfield by 4 points (two conversions). This tournament was an important yardstick for us, showing how we measure up against the much larger D.C. area teams. Answer? Pretty darn well. Lotsi Balint, Neil Burdick and Lewis Grant all posted multiple trys. Lewis hit a couple of conversions on the day too. Great performances were turned in by Collin, Emily, Layne, Coleman and Connor. Where we came up short was that we scored the equaling trys outside making for tough conversions. Oh well. Other teams there included Washington, Springfield, PAC, Hanover and various other local names that I can't remember. It was a job well done on a hot day when we only had 1 sub

The Richmond Lions Rugby Club, one of the leading rugby organizations in the country, is offering "non-contact" tag rugby for boys and girls ages 5 through 15. The program is based in Richmond, VA though players from any community are welcome. Co-ed teams are organized to suit the number of youth in the program.

We offer an "in-house" u7 program to teach the basics and encourage participation of all ages. The older of these players will usually get a few chances to play in the u9 games. The under-9 and under-11 will practice together but play as u9 and u11 teams. Similarly the under-13 and under-15 squads train together though play in different age based division. Occassionally players will cross over to a different age group if skill and competition is appropropriate. The club participates in the Virginia Rugby Youth League with other u9, u11, u13, u15 teams within Virginia and the surrounding areas.

Youth "touch" rugby involves running, passing, catching, scoring, kicking, offense, defense, scrums, lineouts, mauls, rolling, leaping, more running, more catching, more kicking and MORE scoring – lots of scoring for everyone on the team! It brings together TEAM skills from soccer, basketball, lacrosse, football, and a lot more...all wrapped into one, fast, exciting game!!
