A free intro-to-rugby clinic for fifth – seventh grade boys and girls will be held from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Sundays through October at Clifton Park on Sea Cliff Avenue in Sea Cliff. Players should dress in a soccer uniform with cleats or sneakers. Drills include, passing and catching in motion, punting, and touch rugby. The program is geared for new players without any prior rugby experience.
Rugby is a spring sport, and played on a football-sized field. In rugby all athletes play offense and defense and each player on the field is expected to run like a wide receiver, kick like a punter, tackle like a defensive back, pass like a quarterback and score touchdowns like a running back.
