Our after-school program is a fun way for young athletes to be introduced to the fun and fast-growing sport of rugby! This program is a co-ed, non-contact, "touch" form of rugby using flags. Athletes will work on fundamental skills including running, kicking, passing, space strategy and teamwork.
Registration for after-school youth rugby is offered through Hudson Community Recreation & Education (HCER) and is intended for Hudson City School District students/residents, grades 1-5. The program is separate from our Rookie Rugby League.
Registration will open soon for after-school rugby: Fall 2025!
