Gretna NORFC Rugby Pitch. Approx. 850 Gretna Blvd, Gretna, LA 70053

Thursday nights for 6 weeks (Plus any rain outs), 5:30-6:30 (6 sessions)

Game Plan:

Louisiana Youth Rugby invites girls and boys ages 6-13 of all skill levels to join us for 6 weeks of flag rugby. Each week is a building block preparing each athlete to play flag rugby. Flag Rugby is a fun, fast-paced game that focuses on building skills, fitness, and teamwork on and off the field. Each athlete will be divided according to age and skill levels to not only learn skills of communication, leadership and teamwork, but to simply have a great time playing outside. Rugby also offers players increased confidence and self-respect, as the ultimate character-building sport. It fosters courage, fitness, team effort and togetherness, bringing together boys and girls from all backgrounds.

Equipment Needed:

* Tennis shoes (non-metal toed soccer cleats are recommended, but not necessary)

* Comfortable athletic shorts

* Waterbottle

* A great attitude to play!

Cost & Contacts:

Registration is open to boys and girls ages 6-13, registration for the six sessions is $50.00 (or $10 for a single session) and can be done online through LouisianaRugby.org. For any questions about the Youth Rugby Program, please contact George Sharpe at george.sharpe2020@outlook.com
