Qualifications: Boys and Girls 9th-12th are welcome to join. No prior rugby knowledge required.

Time Commitment: The high school season runs practices indoor in January and February and outside March thru May at the Wellness Center Field (next to the Perry Stadium). See practice schedule under "SCHEDULE" tab. Home matches are held at Perry Stadium. The state championships are held on a weekend, and there will be a couple of additional opportunities for the kids to participate in other rugby events like our indoor clinics at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Jan/Feb.

Cost: The Registration fee for Spring High School Rugby $245 ($165 USA Rugby/RugbyOhio & $80 Perry Panther Rugby). Once registered, the player will be insured to participate in rugby events through August 31st, 2024. Each player will be provided shorts, socks and a warm up tee.

Rugby Ohio does offer financial assistance to those who qualify. Please contact club President Ashley Grace privately if you need any assistance with fees or gear.
