Wisconsin Girls Rugby Fall 2024 League Play

 The 2024 WGR Fall League starts up in a few weeks.

Of note is the inclusion of two new girls teams:

The Fox Cities Iron Maidens, who have been building through a youth flag program for several years, will play out of Greenville, Wisconsin north of Oshkosh.  They have a solid foundation from years of development in the Fox Cities flag rugby program which competes each summer in Wisconsin Flag Rugby.

In addition, Greendale HS is starting a school-supported team.  Sadly, this team essentially replaces the Muskego HS program, which never fully gained traction.  Encouragingly, Greendale's support stems from Assistant Athletic Director Niina Rouse, who's involvement in girls wrestling and rugby has built some significant positive momentum for improving athletic opportunities for high school girls.  The KM rugby alumn has already done some impressive things in her young career..

Conference A

DSHA HS

Green Bay

Stevens Point Area HS

Conference B

League play begins September 14th and concludes with the State Tournament October 27th.  The location of the state tournament is still to be determined but the league semifinals will be held October 19th at Cottage Grove.  Some teams have some pre-season scrimmages in the works before conference play kicks off.
