Youth Rugby
Growing rugby's next generation in the U.P.
We're building a safe, structured youth rugby pathway in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Flag rugby for the youngest players. Progressive, coach-led contact for teens. Player welfare first, always.
Our youth pathway
Ages 6–9
Flag Rugby
Non-contact, skills-first. Passing, spatial awareness, and just having fun in team sport.
Ages 10–13
Skills & Tag
Introduction to structure, positions, and safe tackle progressions using pads and bags.
Ages 14–18
Progressive Contact
Full rugby with a coach-driven emphasis on tackle technique, head safety, and personal accountability.
What parents can expect
Safety, fun, and Berserkers values come first. Our coaches build the sport around your child — teaching skill, respect, and teamwork in an environment where every player is seen, supported, and challenged to grow.
- ▸ Coaches are trained in current player-welfare and concussion protocols.
- ▸ Contact is introduced progressively and only after technique benchmarks are met.
- ▸ Practices are structured, punctual, and focused on skill development.
- ▸ Registration, waivers, and fees are transparent — nothing hidden.
- ▸ You are welcome to observe any practice.
