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.
