What is Rugby? 

Rugby is one of the world’s greatest and most popular team sports. Unlike just about any other team sport, rugby is about all players having the same opportunity to run with the ball, pass the ball, and play defense. Rugby is a team sport and the best player is usually the one who puts their team above their own ambitions. We encourage our players to play their game to their ability and reward effort, not results. 

Rugby is a tough sport, but it’s a fair sport, and a safe sport. This makes rugby a fun and exciting sport to play and watch and most families who are new to the sport are pleasantly surprised.

Anyone with even the slightest interest and curiosity about the sport is invited to turn out for a practice or a game and ultimately give it a try. Your size, athletic aptitude or familiarity with rugby is not required.  

Jags Rugby is for high school players, from Valley Center High School and surrounding areas upon approval.  Freshmen and Sophmore boys, plus a limited number of Juniors play JV, and Juniors and Seniors play Varsity (select Sophmores upon coach approval),

Lady Jags play  Varsity, including Freshmen, Sophmore, Junior and Senior girls.  All skill levels welcome.
