Team Compositions

Team Setup and Composition

We are a single Rugby Football Club, we have several constituent teams within the club, boys/girls HS teams, boys/girls middle school, girls youth, and coed touch/tag.

The boys currently field:

  • a varsity team
  • JV team
  • a freshman team
  • a middle school team

The girls currently field:

  • a varsity team
  • a middle school team
  • a youth team

The girls combine with other clubs to compete at the HS, MS, and youth levels.

Playing Up/Down

High school players may play up, within the HS program.  That is, a freshman or sophomore may play up to the varsity level.  This decision will be made by coaches, in consultation with the player and with parents.  Seniors (usually) will not play down to the freshman or JV level.  This is permitted but is unusual, and is decided on a case-by-case basis.

Middle school rugby players are not permitted to play in HS rugby, under any circumstances.  Nor may they play down to the youth level.

HS matches will not be held against adult-level teams, including college teams.

Boys and girls are not permitted to play coed tackle rugby, under any circumstances.
