Raleigh Rattlesnakes Youth 10U Rugby

In April 2015, Raleigh Rugby added youth rugby to our family. It’s a safe, fun, easy way for kids to learn and fall in love with the newest Olympic sport. While playing at our gorgeous, Bermuda grass facilities, your kids are encouraged to have fun while being encouraged and developed into being the best rugby players they can be. Give your kids the opportunity to move up through the teams in our organization, and be a part of the fastest-growing sport in the US.

The Rattlesnakes 10U Rugby team introduces safe tackling and includes boys and girls ages 10 and under. Minimal equipment is required, and fun is expected.

**Player must be 10 years old or younger on September 1st, 2022, to be eligible for 10U rugby.**
