American Flag Rugbyfrom New Jersey and Delaware. Flag Rugby, endorsed by USA Rugby (the governing body of rugby in the U.S.), is a simplified, non-contact version of rugby. It emphasizes the education of rugby fundamentals to players and parents in a controlled and safe environment. It is fast, fun and easy to learn. It helps with the development of teamwork, hand-eye-coordination, ball-handling and fitness skills. It's a great cross-training sport for football, soccer, and lacrosse.
Formal registration occurs the end of spring. Check website for updates.
