Unfortunately, we do not currently have a fall season though we have fall and winter clinics. We start our season in April and play until the end of June or July depending on the age group and participant availability.
Kids age 6 through high school can play in the Hounds Youth Rugby program.
Kids generally play in age groups of 6-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, and high school ages. When registering, you will be asked for your child's current in grade & age so we can place your child onto the correct team.
While we want your children to start playing rugby as early as possible, we find that typically kids under the age of 6 are not ready for the length of the practice and do not yet have the physical skills necessary. We may make a case by case exception, but we ask that you, as the parent who knows your child best, evaluate first whether they can truly handle this and still have fun. We know you are eager to get them playing, but there are plenty of rugby years ahead if your child enjoys rugby. If your child does not enjoy rugby, your child may end up with bad rugby associations and not want to play rugby in the future! No one wants that!
Registration includes all practices and regular games in the season for which you are registering. The number of practices and games may vary based on weather, field conditions, and things outside of our control like Covid. (We will often play in rain, but we won't play when there is lightning.) Each player will receive a Wolfhounds jersey with registration for the spring/summer season.
Not at all. The kids on the Hounds Youth team come from all over the greater Boston area.
