New Age Ranges in Summer 2010

Quick FYI that next year the age ranges will change, so that eligibility for a given age group will be based on the calendar year. So, for example, kids born January 1, 1995, or later will still be eligible to play U-15. This is all based on a Rugby Virginia youth league decision. More info to come.

 

Fields/Weather Status:   

Fairfax County fields status is available on 703-324-5264 or FCPA web site. Updated by 3pm Mon-Fri; no update on weekends. Unless FCPA says a given field is closed, or if it’s the weekend, any decision to cancel will be made at the field based on current weather and field conditions. (For additional info, see SYC Rugby’s inclement weather policy and Practice Info - Summer 2009.)

SYC West End U-19 Team Narrowly Loses State Championship Game on June 6

June 6, 2009 -- SYC West End played a great game but came up short against a talented Western Loudoun team in the Rugby Virginia High School Championship game.  Final score 13-10.  Down 10-0 going into the 2nd half, SYC West End climbed back into the game to tie it up at 10-10, but with 10 minutes left gave up a penalty that allowed WL to go up 13-10.  SYC West End mounted a furious effort in the closing minutes but ran out of time. Check out the SYC West End U-19 page for further info about the season.

 

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-16 age group. Note that tackle teams are boys-only or girls-only.  Most teams play a Summer season, with exception of U-19 boys 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!
