Rugby for School PE

Kids are four times more likely to play a sport if they play it in P.E. class first. Because of this we want to see a flag rugby unit taught in every P.E. class in America! This exciting, fast-paced activity will have kids moving and having fun in no time! Rookie Rugby satisfies the National Standards for Physical Education as outlined by the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE).

Rookie Rugby is a great sport to increase physical literacy.
