Lion Cubs Youth Rugby

Lion Cubs Youth Rugby is the official youth program of the Village Lions Rugby Football Club, bringing the spirit, discipline, and joy of rugby to young athletes across New York City. Whether your child is picking up a rugby ball for the first time or building on existing skills, Lion Cubs offers a safe, inclusive, and exciting environment to learn the game, make friends, and grow in confidence.

Rooted in the core values of teamwork, respect, and resilience, our program is designed for kids of all backgrounds and skill levels. We focus on age-appropriate training, character development, and, above all, having fun—on and off the field.

With experienced coaches, supportive teammates, and a proud club legacy behind us, Lion Cubs is more than a youth sports program—it's a community.

Join the pride. Play rugby. Grow strong.
