Spring/SUMMER Try League Rugby
Try out your rugby skills by playing with Glendale’s Youth Teams in Rugby Colorado’s Try League. Try teams play 7-a-side or Olympic-style rugby in festival-like settings called Jamborees. Each Jamboree is hosted by a participating club where all age levels play at one location on a Saturday in the summer months of May and June. It’s game time, and try time.
