A great sport for new athletes

Youth Rugby is a fast, exciting, high scoring game for kids of all ages, that is played worldwide.  Youth Rugby emphasizes FUN - running with the ball,  passing, kicking, scoring and tackling (for certain age groups).  No matter what position you play, you can score points.

Everyone plays there are no cuts, all are welcome, not matter your skill level.  There's a place for everybody on a rugby team.

Youth rugby is a co-ed sport at the tag and youth levels.  At the high school tackle level girls and boys are on separate teams.  Vienna Rugby, just like a college or adult rugby club, considers every participant, boys, girls, coaches, volunteers, tag or tackle level, to be a members of the club.  Although players of different levels have different needs, every member of the club is an equal stake-holder, with privileges and responsibilities. Once you are a member of a rugby club, that membership stays with you for life, even as you move on to join college or adult clubs and as you grow up and move around. 

Vienna rugby focuses on teaching the "laws" of the game, game play, fitness, team work and having fun in a competitive environment. Respect for self, teammates and all participants, coaches and referees etc is fundamental to our sport.

You will have FUN! You will make tags or tackles and learn  to think quickly about what to do next. Team skills, offense, defense, scrums, line-outs, rucks, mauls - Rugby is all about FUN! and scoring points? 

Players under age 10 will play the tag version of the game. Players under 12 have the option to play tag or tackle.  Players 12yo and above, play tackle.   All laws of rugby apply with possible modifications in the interest of safety and considering the player's age, size, strength, and skill level.  Any modifications are implemented by the league.

VYI Rugby has a dedicated coaching staff of experienced adult players and USA Rugby certified coaches.  Many of the VYI coaches also coach other sports, such as Soccer, Lacrosse, and Football.

VYI Rugby is a great way to stay active, stay fit fit, make new friends, learn a new sport and be part of an club.
