More Than a Sport. A Place to Belong.

Morris Rugby Girls High School Program

Fall Preseason Begins August 2026

If you're the parent of a high school girl, you already know how hard it can be to find an activity that builds confidence, creates genuine friendships, and challenges girls to become stronger versions of themselves.

That's exactly why so many families discover rugby.

At Morris Rugby, we welcome athletes of all experience levels—from multi-sport athletes looking for a new challenge to girls who have never played a sport before. Many of our most successful players stepped onto a rugby field for the very first time in high school.

No experience required. Just a willingness to try something new.

Why Parents Love Rugby

Confidence That Carries Into Everyday Life

Rugby teaches girls to be fearless, resilient, and confident. Players learn to trust themselves, communicate clearly, and step into leadership roles both on and off the field.

A Team That Becomes Family

In a world where many teens struggle to find their place, rugby creates a culture of belonging. Our players support one another, celebrate each other's successes, and build friendships that last long after graduation.

Every Body Has a Position

Unlike many sports, rugby welcomes athletes of every size, shape, and skill set. Speed, strength, strategy, determination—there's a place for everyone on the field.

Opportunities Beyond High School

Women's rugby is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, creating unique opportunities for college recruitment and scholarships. Morris Rugby alumni have gone on to compete at some of the nation's most respected colleges and universities, including West Point, Harvard, Brown, Virginia Tech, NC State, Pitt, Loyola Maryland, Sacred Heart, Princeton, Bowdoin, and many others.

Several former players have continued into elite-level competition, including Women's Elite Rugby and international play with the USA Eagles.

Why Girls Stay

Ask our players why they joined,

you'll hear different answers.

Ask them why they stay, and you'll hear the same thing:

"I found my people."

Rugby develops strong athletes, but more importantly, it develops strong young women.
