About Us
Our Mission
Our mission as Raptors is to empower young rugby players to grow skills, build character, and strengthen ties to the community. South OC Raptors rugby club fields teams in coed age groups U8 (non-contact), U10, U12, U14, and boys U16 and U18. We are a member of Southern California Youth Rugby (SCYR) and USA Rugby.
Why Rugby?
Youth rugby is an inclusive team sport that builds lifelong character, total-body fitness, and deep camaraderie for players of all shapes and sizes.
- —Every child plays an essential role — everyone handles the ball, runs, and defends together.
- —Programs range from safe, non-contact flag rugby for beginners to structured, controlled contact as players grow.
- —Beyond speed, strength, and agility, the sport teaches deep respect for teammates, opponents, and referees.
- —Kids gain confidence, learn discipline, and make lifelong friends in a welcoming community.
- —As players reach older ages, rugby opens doors to elite developmental pathways and extensive college recruitment opportunities.
