Kids Learn Rugby Skills During Annual Clinic

The Severn River Rugby Football Club and Severna Park Green Hornets connected during an annual youth rugby clinic on July 16, ahead of the Green Hornets hosting the Maryland Youth Rugby Festival later in the month.

Severn River’s club, comprised of men’s and women’s teams and coaches, introduced young players to running an effective defense, defending one on one, proper passing technique, and drop-kicking.

Green Hornets participates in touch rugby from May to July and is open to youth players, ages 3 to 16, of all skill levels. This fall, the organization will partner with the Annapolis Valkyries to offer a contact program for boys and girls ages 11-18. Email greenhornetsrugby@gmail.com for more information.

Severn River Rugby runs touch rugby sevens during the summer and participates in rugby union during the fall and spring. The organization fields both competitive and social teams and welcomes men and women of all skill levels. The club practices Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm at American Legion Post 175 on Manhattan Beach Road in Severna Park.
