Colonials Flag Rugby Summer Program
Colonials Flag Rugby is a co-ed, non-contact, form of rugby using flags for kids entering Kindergarten through 9th grade (10th grade for girls). The games are seven on seven and focus on teamwork, sportsmanship and most importantly participation for all. Children play in 4 age groups, each group bringing in more aspects of the game as the players progress.

The Colonials team is made up of players from surrounding towns, Morristown, Morris Township, Morris Plains, Madison, Chatham and Florham Park. All programs are run as clinics, with two evening practices and Saturday morning matches scheduled against neighboring Morris County towns. Saturday morning games run approximately 30 minutes. We try and guarantee everyone at least two games. We know it is summer, so we keep things low key-the commitment level is entirely up to you!
Practices for all ages will be held at the Madison Borough Athletic Fields (formerly Bayley Ellard Fields) on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning June 8th. The Season ends with the Morris Youth Rugby Festival in July 18th in Chester Township. Practice will be held evenings from 6:00 pm -7:30 pm, weather permitting. Come learn how to play the newest Olympic sport which will be featured at the Rio Summer Olympics in 2016. Several Alumni of the flag program have recently been named Collegiate All-Americans and have represented the United States in international competitions. Colonials Youth Rugby is affiliated with the Morris Rugby Football Club providing countrywide instruction and competition for children and adults in Morris County.
