Rugby isn’t just a sport—it’s an opportunity to grow, lead, and have fun. For middle and high school girls, rugby offers a pathway to personal development, teamwork, and even college scholarships. At Mother Lode Rugby, our motto—Respect, Integrity, Commitment, and Fun—guides everything we do, making rugby more than just a game. It’s an experience that builds character on and off the field.
A Sport on the Rise
Rugby is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, and more girls are joining teams every year. Its rise to prominence was highlighted recently when the U.S. Women’s Rugby Team won bronze at the Olympics—a proud moment that showcased the incredible talent and determination of female athletes.
Pathways to College and Beyond
Rugby isn’t just about competing locally; it’s a gateway to opportunities in college and beyond. With more U.S. colleges offering varsity and club rugby programs, playing rugby in high school can help girls stand out. The skills developed on the field—leadership, resilience, and teamwork—are highly valued by college recruiters. For many athletes, rugby has been a pathway to scholarships, education, and unforgettable experiences.
Why Rugby Stands Out
Unlike many sports, rugby welcomes players of all body types and skill sets. Whether you’re fast, strong, or strategic, there’s a position on the field for you. At Mother Lode Rugby, we believe in building confidence and camaraderie in a supportive environment. Rugby teaches life skills like respect, integrity, and commitment, all while ensuring the game stays fun for everyone.
Be Part of the Movement
Girls in middle and high school now have a unique chance to join a sport that’s empowering athletes worldwide. At Mother Lode Rugby, we’re proud to offer a place where girls can challenge themselves, form lifelong friendships, and embrace the joy of rugby.
Whether you’re new to the game or looking for your next big challenge, rugby has something for everyone. It’s time to step onto the pitch and experience why so many girls are falling in love with the game.
