Dragon Rugby Club, based in the Appleton Area School District, has been providing rugby opportunities for over 40 years. The club began in 2012 and has since expanded its programming to include a High School Boys team, a High School Girls team, and a youth flag rugby program. This year, Dragon Rugby Club is proud to announce its expansion into middle school tackle rugby for both boys and girls. As the only youth rugby club in Wisconsin that participates in all youth rugby leagues, Dragon Rugby Club is committed to providing a safe, fun, and educational rugby experience for all.
Participants learn the fundamentals of the game through instruction provided by experienced players from the area high school programs and the Fox Cities Gargoyles, Men's Rugby Club. Numerous Appleton Area Rugby players have played on the Wisconsin State Select-Side teams.
Programs are offered year around and both boys and girls in high school can choose to play in the spring, fall, or both.
