More Youth Tag Rugby

Here is the word about another Tag Youth Program, this one geared toward middle schoolers sponsored by the Milwaukee Public Schools Recreation Department.

Program Description:

Rugby, from which American football is derived, is the second largest participation sport in the world behind soccer. Youth rugby is growing rapidly making up over 25% of registered participation nationally with 525 teams (high school and junior rugby clubs). Join this camp to experience a non-contact version that can be played safely. This is a team invasion game, resembling an all inclusive and continuous team game of tag with a ball. All players get to run, catch, pass and score regardless of their position, size, gender, or ability level. Skills developed are balance, coordination, agility, visual awareness, decision making and core fitness.

Dates: Mon - Fri., July 14 - 18
Time: 9:30 - 11:30 am
