Is there a local youth rugby club or team in BCS? I like to get my kids involved in that sport this spring & summer. We've been playing in the front yard for a couple of years and want to move into organized play.

A Houston club may end up being your only option for now. I know we have local lacrosse now but I haven't seen anything regarding rugby.

Jmazz is Lacrosse. I know they were working on getting youth lacrosse started but it is difficult due to lack of players and having to travel to a major metro to play other teams. I helped out a bit but I'm just not good at coaching/teaching sports.

I do not think there is local rugby at this time aside from the A&M Club team.

This is frustrating since current football is trending toward rugby style tackling as a way to prevent head injuries (look at what Pete Carroll is doing with his Seahawks Tackle).

Soccer is pretty big here.

What age range are you looking for? I know there are leagues in Houston, but that would be a good drive. I high school I drove down to Houston once or maybe twice a week to play.

I think the Aggie men's team was trying to start up a HS team several years ago while I was playing, but I'm not sure how that worked out. I'll ask around within the rugby community and see if I can find anything.

I'm an adult and can't play because there's no options either.

If any other guys want to help start up a men's and boys league with me, hit me up!
