Jr. Warriors 2020 Youth Rugby Clinics Announced
Utah Warriors and Utah Youth Rugby are happy to announce the launch of the Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program. Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program is for 3rd through 8th Grade Boys and Girls. Current Utah Warriors players, coaches and staff will be working hands on with participants to develop positive life lessons of physical fitness, teamwork and leadership, while learning the game of rugby. Our mission is to provide young rugby men and women the opportunity to learn fundamental rugby skills, and techniques,while incorporating its traditions of teamwork, sportsmanship and ultimately having fun. We aim to develop local youth rugby and provide a pathway for players into Utah Youth Rugby.
Utah Warriors Head Coach Chris Latham expresses his excitement for the Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program saying, “Having been involved in rugby for over 25 years both as a player and a coach, nothing excites me more then the introduction of rugby to young boys and girls in the greater Salt Lake City area. Rugby is a unique sport that caters for all body shapes. Short, tall, fast, not fast, it does not matter, all are welcome. The Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program is an exciting opportunity, that allows the Warriors Organization to start a pathway for local youth to play Utah Youth Rugby, Utah High School Rugby and ultimately become a Utah Warrior.”
The Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program will be launching the “Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby League” and the “Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Clinics”.
The Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby League will kickoff April 22nd and run through May 30th. League matches will be held every Wednesday (dates and times below) at Zion Bank Stadium (address below). No previous playing experience is required and is open to boys and girls ages 3rd grade to 8th grade. The goal of our Flag Rugby League is to introduce young players to the game of rugby, emphasis will be on safety and ultimately having fun, while the use of flags limits physical contact. This league will consist of school-grade divisions. Each division plays a variation of the game with its own specific rules and procedures. If participants would like to be on a team with certain teammates and friends, make sure to inform us on your registration page.
The Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program will also be hosting 3 Clinics at Zion Bank Stadium (dates and times below) as a curtain raiser before the Warriors matches. Jr. Warriors coaches, players and staff will be guiding participants to learn about all the unique parts of rugby, like the ‘scrum’ and the ‘line-out’, in a fun, safe and non-contact environment. Participants will also learn the basics to the sport of rugby, where everyone gets to pass, catch, run and score with the ball.
Participants are encouraged to bring comfortable athletic attire, cleats and mouth guards (if desired). T-shirts will be provided upon arrival at clinics or league.
Jr. Warriors Youth Rugby Program pricing is $50 and includes; 3 clinic passes, league access and 3 Warriors home game tickets.
The Warriors are excited to have the JR. Warriors Youth Rugby Program be a part of the Warriors family! Sign-ups and registration are now open.
