Back Bay Youth Rugby was established in the fall of 2004 with a few young kids that were interested in playing the sport of rugby. Our first practice we had 7 players. By our first match we had 14 players and played a player down. Since that first game, a Back Bay victory, we have grown from a 14 player team, to a 50 player High School team that has competed in the Southern California High School Championships, since 2006,and went to the National High School Championships, placing third in our division. We are always striving to get our players to the next level, and have placed two players on the USA Under 19 National team, where they compete for their country. We are now competing in all youth divisions in Southern California from High School boys and girls, all the way down to touch rugby at ages 6 through 10.We draw players from Costa Mesa , Newport Beach , Huntington Beach , Irvine , Santa Ana , Westminister, and surrounding areas. We have 12 coaches on staff to overlook and teach these young players to become the best that they can be. Many of our coaches have competed at high levels of rugby in Austraila,New Zealand,England,Wales,and more importantly, for the USA Eagles. Rugby is one of the fastest growing youth sports in the USA , and we are very glad to be a part of this youth movement.
