Folks,
Thank you so much for yoir interest in the Houston Yoith Rugby League. We started playing at Aveva Stadium of the Houston SaberCats just before Covid hit. As such we had to stop operations until early this year. Unfortunately, the Houston SaberCats decided to run their own yoith Rugby League despite Covid restrictions. Our affiliation with the SaberCats and Aveva Stadium has permanently ended. So, we will no longer operate the league at Aveva Stadium.

The Houston Athletic Rugby Club has acquired a large amount of land at Melrose Park where three rugby fields and a small stadium is present. The Houston Youth Rugby League will open up to tag rugby beginning in 2022 working along with the Houston Parks Department, Melrose Park and The Houston Athletic Rugby Club. Our league will have larger facilities, greater sponsorships and much more to offer the players and community. Please stay tuned as we will be providing more information on our youth tag Rigby league in the coming months.

Houston Youth Rugby League had to forego playing this year at AVEVA Stadium due to the Covid extensions causing us to resign from AVEVA Stadium. The HYRL will resume touch rugby league this Summer at Memorial Park, which is more centrally located to people Houston.

Teams will consist of 9-10 players per team with six playing on the field at once a with open rotations. Teams in possession of the ball will have 6 downs before turnover or a touchdown is made. The rules will align by NRL World League Touch rules—see the rules of play: https://youtu.be/9DhpVUCx-Pk

Registration for players, parent coaches and more will begin on May 1st. Free training and certification of coaches will take place the first weekend of June. There is much ahead. Stay tuned.

Friends. We have been a bit quiet since the League has had to hold off on operations during the Quarantine. However, we have spoken with Aveva Stadium and as of now I tend to renew operations in June. We will play four Saturdays followed by lunch. Let’s get everybody and new players involved this summer.

I will be forwarding more details on our summer play in a few days.

All the best,
Larry Monks
Director

As we await what will happen during this quarantine please note that since we had to postpone league play the it is only a postponement. We will pick up play again at the longest by this Summer. The new dates will be posted and we will post them here.

03/18/2020

We will resume league tag rugby once the quarantine has been lifted. We have been assured by AVEVA STADIUM that we may continue on afterwards. This will mean that we most likely will resume in May or the Summer, but we will resume.

Thank you players and parents for your understanding.

Flag Rugby Football

Rugby Football is the second most popularly played team sport in the world. It originated at Rugby School in England and became the father of American Football when Yale University and Harvard University couldn’t play by the gentlemen code of the game. Rugby Football also fathered basketball when Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts had to come up with a game like rugby (multi-passing) to play during the snowy months.

Flag Rugby is a game that allows players to engage in a lot of passing and catching as they run for touchdowns (called tries). As such, the game is filled with action and participation for all the players. The flag rugby game played by the Houston Youth Rugby League is actually an official form of flag rugby called Rookie Rugby, which has leagues and clubs around the USA and Canada (see: https://rookierugby.com).

If you are not familiar with Rookie Rugby, but want your child to be in a fun, ultra participatory team sport where skills and friendship are strongly fostered, then sign your child up in the Houston Youth Rugby League (Sign-Up: http://www.houstonrugby.org/youth).
