Saracen TRY Rugby 2nd Season Starts June, 2012
2011 was the inaugural season for Saracens "TRY" Rugby. We are
very excited to be introducing younger kids to the TRY version of non-contact
and contact rugby; a very safe,
easy-to-play game for both boys and girls? Rugby is simple to
understand, organize, teach and especially – play.
The season begins in Mid-May and continues through June 25th,
so come out anytime. It's easy to learn and never too late to try rugby.
Practice will be at Expo Park, click on the button below.
Why Kids Love Rugby
Rugby’s ball handling, running,
kicking, and fitness will help any student in other sports. Rugby has benefited
many soccer players. The Gridiron Coach says, “Many high school football
coaches are encouraging their athletes to play rugby because it allows them to
improve their footwork, speed, cardio vascular fitness, and it’s a great way to
play a contact sport during the spring. James Naismith invented basketball as a
sport for rugby and soccer players to play inside in the winter offseason.
Any boy or girl between the ages of 5 years thru 14 years
can play in the Tag/flag
Rugby
Youth League (TRY).
There are teams throughout the Denver Metro area, Colorado Springs, Ft. Collins,
Boulder, Grand Junction, Aspen, Montrose, extending into the mountains and New
Mexico.
Age Groups for Tackle and Flag
We encourage parents and coaches to get involved. Rugby is a simple game .
. . . . . we can help you, help the team.
