Youth Rugby
We are currently trying to put together a high school boys club side. This will consist of high school aged boys aged 18 and under from Springfield and all surrounding cities.
​
Matches will be held in the spring and we will aim to compete against teams in Kansas City, St. Louis, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and beyond.
We are currently gathering resources and would like any help we can get. Please reach out to us if you'd like to play, coach, donate, sponsor, or offer any other resource.
Girls Rugby in Missouri
All high school and youth rugby in Missouri is overseen by the Missouri Youth Rugby State Based Organization (SRO), MY Rugby.
​
To encourage growth of the game, high school girls play the 7s format of the game. The season takes place in the fall with several one day tournaments being played throughout September and October. The state champion is crowned in early November.
​
This is an exciting time in USA Rugby. Every year more colleges add rugby as a varsity sport complete with scholarships. Springfield's own Drury University is adding school supported rugby programs for both men and women.
