The clinics are split by Grades 4-5 (at Neary School) and 6-8 (at Trottier Middle School.

NERC promotes:
Flag rugby is a fast-paced game that keeps kids moving and allows them to develop their fundamental movement skills. . .
Flag rugby is…
- Easy to learn: We will teach basic rules and skills of flag rugby.
- Fun to play: By the end of the session, we will be playing rugby!
- A High School sport for Boys and Girls at ARHS.
- Like flag football: It is non-contact, and is the style played by grades K-6 by Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization (MYRO)
The Neary session will take place from 3:00 – 4:15 pm on Thursday, September 28th. The Trottier session is on Friday, September 29th from 2:30 – 3:45 pm.

New England Rugby Club is focused on developing youth rugby (grades K-8) as part of the Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization. Rugby can teach teamwork skills, confidence, persistence, understanding, cooperation, and respect for fellow athletes. Rugby is a dynamic game where an attacking side can run, pass, and even kick the ball. While the defending side is trying to stop them and steal the ball. . .
