REGISTRATION & TEAM INFORMATION
OUR VISION:
Everyone who wants to play, gets to play
The Youth Program has a commitment that anyone who wants to play rugby will get the opportunity to play rugby. To support this commitment we focus on creating an environment focused on teamwork and inclusion. We also offer partial and full scholarships for situations and circumstances where the youth program registration fee would create a barrier for a player’s participation in the Youth Program.
Building Community through the sport of Rugby
The Youth Program seeks to build a shared community of players, coaches, parents, volunteers, and supporters. We see our community as having shared values and purpose, supportive relationships, cultural exchanges, and engagement and outreach. By having a community, rugby becomes more than a game or sport, it serves as a platform for meaningful relationships and collective growth.
Better Players, Better People
The Youth Program is focused on developing each player to their full potential, on and off the field, and reflects the idea that participation in sports, like rugby, goes beyond just developing athletic skills—it also shapes character, instills valu hi es, and helps individuals grow as well-rounded, responsible individuals. This encapsulates skill development on the field, character development off the field, leadership and teamwork, respect and integrity, and creating life lessons for players.
OUR PROMISE:
Fun
The Youth Program promises that each player will have fun first and foremost. We want all of our team mates to not only love being part of the Raleigh Rugby Youth Program and Club, but to LOVE rugby as well. We believe that starts with us all having a good time, from players, to coaches, to all our amazing volunteers and supporters.
Memories
What’s the point of being a part of our Community, or any program for that matter if you aren’t making memories and friendships which will last a lifetime? In the Youth Program, EVERYONE plays and plays a lot. This way, everyone has a memory to share on social media, or with mom, dad, brother, sister or friends and family.
