We welcome both boys and girls ages 6 through high school. No prior experience is necessary. We have rookies join every year in every age group - even in high school.
The Hounds Youth team practices and has home games at the Irish Cultural Centre located at 200 New Boston Dr. in Canton, MA. This wonderful facility hosts the senior and junior Wolfhounds teams alike and provides not only beautiful rugby fields but venues for music, food, and a celebration of all that is Irish. After Friday practices, stay and have dinner with your family at the ICC tent!
Practices for most age groups are typically held on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. The K-2 age group practices the same days but from 5:30pm-6:45pm.
Rugby is a sport that doesn't require a lot of equipment. While there is an official "kit" for games, for practice kids just need shorts, a t-shirt, a mouth guard (required), and "boots" (cleats) or sneakers. (Molded plastic soccer cleats work best for the flag youth rugby teams (6th grade and below). Older kids may want to wear actual rugby boots. Boots/cleats for rugby cannot have a single center front cleat.). Please leave watches or jewelry at home. Don't forget your water bottle!
