Our boys compete this coming spring season with over 20 high school teams in Rugby Colorado, culminating in a state championship tournament. Though not a currently a part of CHSAA, Tigers Rugby Football Club provides instruction and training in a safe environment of the fundamentals, skills and strategies of union rugby.
The positive aspects of rugby: camaraderie, fitness, discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork and mutual respect, builds self-esteem and character among our athletes. In Rugby, athletic skills are developed, including ball handling, running, vision, tackling, pursuit angles, speed and strength development, punting and placekicking are applicable to other sports.
