<p>Rugby is one of the fastest growing sports for both boys and girls in the US. The Crusaders have developed strong links with the local high school programs (Naperville Warriors, Neuqua Wildcats, Plainfield Thundercats, Chiefs, Elmhurst Rugby and Arlington Stallions). Rugby is a game that welcomes all kids. No prior experience is necessary. Safety and enjoyment are the top priorities. USA Rugby qualified coaches will work with participants to teach positions and rules, while developing skills in passing, tackling, rucking, mauling, scrums, and lineouts to allow for full enjoyment in a safe environment.</p><p>Participants will have the option to participate in competitive games, where they will compete for the Rugby Illinois State Championship. Games take place on Sundays, within 1-hour drive from Naperville. Each participant will be provided shorts, socks, and a Crusaders T-shirt. Cleats and a mouth guard are required. Fee includes Rugby Illinois and USA Rugby memberships which are mandatory to play competitive rugby in the USA. (ba)</p>
