A drop goal is worth three points and is scored when a player kicks the ball through the opposition's goalposts while the ball is in play.


A lineout is a way of restarting play after the ball has gone out of bounds on the sidelines. It involves the team that did not touch the ball last throwing it back into play while both teams compete for possession.


Give Rugby a Try!

All sizes and skill levels welcome!

 

It is that time of year again - Valley Center Youth Rugby teams begin the HIGH SCHOOL and WINTER Club Season with SoCal Youth Rugby league! 


Valley Center Rugby is looking for both boys and girls from ages 5 to 18 to play rugby. Join us for practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays  at Valley Center Elementary School from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm for ages 5 to 14.  Players over 14 years old ("Olders") both boys and girls, practice Tuesdays/ Wednesdays/ Thursdays 6 pm – 8 pm (warm-ups beginning at 5:45 pm).  All skill levels are welcome!


What is Rugby? 

Rugby is one of the world’s greatest and most popular team sports. Unlike just about any other team sport, rugby is about all players having the same opportunity to run with the ball, pass the ball, and play defense. Rugby is a team sport and the best player is usually the one who puts their team above their own ambitions. We encourage our players to play their game to their ability and reward effort, not results. 


Rugby is a tough sport, but it’s a fair sport, and a safe sport. This makes rugby a fun and exciting sport to play and watch and most families who are new to the sport are pleasantly surprised.


Anyone with even the slightest interest and curiosity about the sport is invited to turn out for a practice or a game and ultimately give it a try. Your size, athletic aptitude or familiarity with rugby is not required.
