Clubs Partner For Youth Rugby Clinic

The Severn River Rugby Football Club and Green Hornets organizations connected during the second annual Green Hornets youth rugby clinic on July 10, ahead of the Green Hornets hosting the Maryland Youth Rugby Festival later in the month.

Severn River Rugby Football Club, composed of men’s and women’s teams and coaches, introduced young players to running an effective defense, defending one-on-one, proper passing technique, and drop-kicking. The clinic ended with the Green Hornets’ U13 and U16 teams scrimmaging against Severn River.

Green Hornets rugby participates in touch rugby from May to July and is open to youth players ages 3 to 16 of all skill levels. The Green Hornets started a program for 3- to 5-year-olds and had kids running around, passing and scoring tries.

Severn River Rugby runs touch rugby sevens during the summer and participates in rugby union during the fall and spring. The club fields both competitive and social teams and welcomes men and women of all skill levels. The club practices Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm at American Legion Post 175 on Manhattan Beach Road in Severna Park.
