Appleton Youth Rugby

It's always exciting to hear of new rugby programs developing around the state.  Whether it's girls or boys teams at any level, one tends to lead to the growth of the other.  Anyone with relatives, friends, or connections to the Appleton area may be interested in the "three headed dragon" of Appleton North, West, and East.

An excerpt from their webpage:

"The Appleton Dragon Rugby Club was established in 2012 as part of an effort of the Fox Valley Youth Rugby Foundation to generate a greater appreciation for the sport of Rugby.  On rainy fall afternoon, a few good men brought together years of “what if” hopes and dreams to form a new tradition in Appleton.

The three-headed dragon and cardinal directions of West, North, and East represent each of Appleton’s three high schools.  The team colors were chosen in part, based on their meaning in traditional heraldry. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty. Green indicates growth and hope. While purple is associated with power and ambition. It is the hope and ambition of the founding members of this club to instill the ideals of honor and valor in the future leaders of Appleton."
