The Boston Irish Wolfhounds have teamed up with the BCYF to offer Rugby as part of Boston’s 2- 6 After School Iniative. Kids of all abilities can play this game. Spring Youth Rugby is coeducational and offered to children ages 6 -14 at five of the Boston Centers for Youth & Families: Downtown Boston; Charlestown; South Boston; Roxbury; and East Boston.
The BIWRFC launched this program two years ago. We have solicited and organized a consortium of local clubs to support this Endeavour and currently there are 150 children taking part in this dynamic after school program.
It is the Wolfhounds goal to increase this participation and start a formal Boston Inner City Rugby League. Rugby teaches the young athletes the values of teamwork, leadership, and camaraderie. It gives them the confidence to become successful adults.
