Richmond Lions Youth Rugby Club: Welcome

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

 I'm pleased to finally announce the the Lions Youth Rugby Club has FINALLY become co-sponsored by Chesterfield county. What does this mean exactly you ask? Well it means that Chesterfield has recognized everyone's hard work in starting this association & notice that we are growing by leaps-and-bounds each year. We will also start being party of their literature next year & have access to the fields at SportsQuest for practice!

       As for practice & upcoming events-- we look to start June 7 @ 7p with an informational meeting & fun evening, then hit the ground running June 9 with practice 7-830p at SportsQuest.
    Then, if that good news isn't enough: on June 11 we have been invited to tailgate & play at the Richmond Revolution last home game (at SportsQuest) vs. the Reading Express. Kickoff is at 7pm, but we plan on starting early with some food & fun! Then the following weekend we play our first rugby match, followed by Lions Rugby Night at The Diamond!!
What we REALLY need everyone to start doing is signing up NOW.....
The fee this year is $75 per kid, which includes your ball, data base, & insurances--plus this year each registered & paid child gets 2 tickets to Richmond Rugby Night at the Flying Squirrels on Saturday, June 18.

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.
