Summer Co-Ed Flag Rugby

There are several flag programs across Wisconsin.  
Here's some general info:


Waukesha's Program is one of the largest with over 100 young athletes involved.  Note below from organizers:

 Hi Everyone,


My name is Aly Cunningham, and I will be running the Waukesha Tag Rugby program this summer with my father. I've been playing rugby since he started the program about 17 years ago including tag rugby, high school tackle rugby, and now varsity college rugby.

Registration for rugby is now open with Waukesha Parks, Recreation, and Forestry (WPRF), and you will have to create an account if you do not already have one. Please use this link or copy or paste this into your browser: https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/waukeshaprf/activity/search?onlineSiteId=0&activity_select_param=2&activity_keyword=rugby&viewMode=list

Our summer practice and tournament schedule is attached. We know that summers are very busy, and your kids are not required to attend every practice and tourney. However, we strongly encourage them to attend as many of the early practices as possible to learn or refresh the rules before going to their first tourney.

You'll see on the schedule that we have our first practice on Friday 6/9 and referee training on Saturday 6/10. We may be hosting training that Saturday, and we will need lots of kids to scrimmage Saturday to help train the referees, so please include that date on your personal rugby calendars.

For those kids who have aged out of tag rugby (e.g., completed 9th grade or higher), we would love for them to consider coaching or refereeing. Please contact me directly. Most of our younger coaches and referees are former players, and this is a great way to stay involved and give back to the game.

Thanks for taking the time to read this long email and let me know if you have any questions.
