RugbyPA is looking to continue to grow junior rugby in Pennsylvania and needs dedicated individuals throughout the state of PA who want to give back to the game of Rugby and to the school-aged athletes in their community to start and build youth programs. The work is challenging but very rewarding. You get to teach the game of Rugby and watch your team come together, play high quality rugby and become a rugby team.  You could even be coaching a future Olympian!
The competitive tackle season starts in March and ends in May with the RugbyPA State Championships for all age groups.
RugbyPA has designed a competitive structure that will allow for player and program development at the Junior and Youth level and have a model for new teams to assist you in starting and maintaining teams.
The structure for the Junior and Youth levels are as follows:
     Junior Rugby - Grades 8 & 9, Multi-School Club full contact rugby
     Youth Rugby - Grades 5, 6, 7, Multi-School Club full contact rugby

For more information on starting a team, contact competitition@RugbyPA.org or James English, RugbyPA Executive Director at jenglish@RugbyPA.org

*Note* RugbyPA also has competitive structures for High School Boys and High School Girls - both Single School and Multi-School divisions.
