Youth Flag Rugby

Flag Rugby a Huge Success!

rugby_2010_003The first-ever DRFC Co-Ed Flag Rugby season was a huge success. We expected 20 players and we ended having up to 28 at one week of camp. The kids learned a great deal about the sport and the rules of flag rugby very quickly.

An unexpected addition to the camp was the Doylestown tournament. The DRFC "pups" traveled to Doylestown to play Blackthorn, North Penn and Doylestown on July 11 for a two hour tournament. All four teams were fairly new, and each team had minor rule variations, all kids adapted quickly and the DRFC kids clearly showed a tremendous level of discipline and skill.

DRFC U12's played Blackthorn's U14's, losing 8 to 3. Though they lost, the Co-Ed U12's were happy to play so well against a group of boys all aged 12 to 14. The U10's played at the same time against the Blackthorn U10's, winning 8 to 6 in their first match ever. The rest of the tourney pitted a mix of Blackthorn and the pups against Doylestown. The pups/Blackthorn "motley" defeated a well-coached Doylestown team 9 to 8. The motleys started to lose a bit of discipline in the last half, allowing Doylestown to come back, but a couple of last minute trys by the pup players took the team from a one-point deficit to victory.

Co-Ed Flag Rugby

flag rugbyFlag Rugby is a great way for children to find fitness and a new camaraderie while learning a new game that they (and their parents) will grow to love. The best thing is, all skill levels, types of athletes, and sizes will learn the sport and share equal playing time. All parents can learn with their children for the first week if they opt to do so!

D.R.F.C. is offering two age brackets: Under 12 and Under 10 (age as of Sept 1, 2009). All boys and girls are invited to join the fun. The cost is only $50! All players will receive a jersey and coaching from Certified Rugby coaches and skilled players.

Camp kicks off Tuesday June 15th and ends Thursday, July 15th. Practices will be every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm for the first 4 weeks. The end of camp games and tournament will be held the final week, July 13 to 15. All activities will be held at Hickory Park in Upper Uwchlan Township.
