Morris Rugby Football Club sponsors a Boys U19 High School rugby program each spring, building upon the success of our town/recreation based youth and U15 programs.   If you haven’t tried playing rugby yet, now is the time!   The program is run as a full contact activity with matches scheduled against other local community based programs.  We also enter into 2 or 3 tournaments during the season to introduce players to teams from outside the local area.

The program is intended for high school aged students, 15 to 19 yrs of age.   Training sessions are designed to develop the skills necessary to succeed at this exciting sport, focusing on fitness, running, passing and the strategic elements required to ensure a fundamental knowledge of the game.   It will also ensure players are properly prepared if they express interest in continuing their rugby playing careers into college and beyond.

Practices and will be held in front of Mennen Arena in Morristown, starting in early March, continuing until early June, held on Tues. and Thurs. evenings, 6:00 to 7:30 PM.  Winter Indoor practice sessions will be held at the Indoor Sports Pavilion in Randolph from 7-9pm each Thursday evening starting in early December and continuing through late February.  League and non-league matches will be played in the spring either during the week or on weekends, depending on league requirements.  USARFU Certified rugby coaches from the Morris Rugby Club make up the coaching staff.

Club Program Fees:  There is a $330 application fee for the 2008/2009 season, which includes a pair of shorts, socks and rugby ball for new players, as well as 12 weeks of indoor training.  Team Jerseys are provided by the club for matches. Payment options are available online and an application form is available for download.
