Oregon, WI – Wisconsin Youth Rugby has announced that August is RUGBY SIGN-UP month for all Women and Girls Rugby teams throughout Wisconsin. Practices for most clubs start the first week in September, gearing up for Nationals held during the 1 st week in December.  “Women’s Rugby is growing quickly in Wisconsin. We are seeing a 20% growth yearly and are expecting a boom this fall due to the USA Rugby Team winning a Bronze Medal in the Olympics. Rugby is easy to learn,  yet difficult to master. If you are Tough, Smart, able to make quick decisions and aggressive by nature, Rugby may be the sport for you.” – Richard Bergemann (Wisconsin Youth Rugby President) “Girls High School Rugby is growing quickly, fielding 12 teams throughout Wisconsin and playing at National Championship Levels.”   “Olympian Ilona Maher started her Rugby career in High School at 17. Numerous out of State colleges are giving full scholarships to Girls High School rugby players.”   “High School Athletes looking for a sport after graduation should definitely give Rugby a try. You can play at university level and at city Club level.”   Marquette University as well as all UW system Universities are fielding Women’s Rugby teams.”   For more information or to find a club near you contact Wisconsin Youth Rugby at: WIyouthRugby@gmail.com  For Local rugby team interviews and more local community information call:
