SYC Rugby Ends Season With Multiple Championships

SYC Rugby ended the Summer 2008 season by successfully hosting the Rugby Virginia tournament at Hooes Road Park and, impressively, winning the championships in 4 of the 7 age divisions where we had teams: U-9 touch (M. Jacobs), U-13 touch (M. Estes), U-13 boys tackle (M. Witter), and U-15 boys tackle (J. Rupp) (head coaches in parens, no team in U-15 touch). Also, SYC Blue made it to the U-11 touch championship game, but lost to Chantilly. Thanks a million to Patti Griffin and all the other volunteers who helped run a very successful concessions and apparel sales operations... we netted over $3k for the program. And thanks to all coaches and other volunteers who helped with this year's program. Hope to see everyone next time!

More About SYC Rugby

SYC "Screaming Eagles" Rugby was founded in Summer 2000 as one of the first youth rugby programs in Virginia.  The program offers touch and tackle rugby for boys and girls ages 6 to 18.

For touch rugby, SYC offers teams in three age groups: U-9, U-11, and U-15.  All touch teams are co-ed.  For tackle rugby, SYC offers boys teams in the U-13, U-15, U-17, and U-19 age groups, and a girls team in the U-15 age group. Note that tackle teams are boys-only or girls-only.  Most teams play a Summer season, with exception of U-19 which plays in the Spring.  See the program guide for full details.

SYC Screaming Eagles teams compete in the Rugby Virginia league, the state-based organization that promotes youth and high school rugby in the state.

For good explanations and articles about the game of rugby, check out the "What is Rugby?" section of this site.  And we’ll see you on the pitch!
