2026 Registration is open!
Since the team's inception, we have played two short seasons - spring and then summer 7s. This meant that families registered twice and had to pay two registration fees. Beginning in 2026, we are pleased to announce that there will be one registration with one fee that covers from January preseason through July. We are excited to have you join Northern Virginia's premiere youth rugby program.
Note that all players will also be required to register with USA Rugby.
