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, boys U14, U16, U18 and girls U16/U18. We are a member of USA Rugby and SCYR (Southern California Youth Rugby).
Rugby is unique in the world of sports in that sportsmanship and traditions have created a culture unlike any other. Winning is important, but more-so the character and growth of the athletes, the friendships and bonds created, the respect and discipline learned, and the dedication to give back to the community. Raptors pride themselves in growing this culture and growing the sport of rugby in Southern California. Come give it a try!
For the 2023 regular season, South OC Raptors will field coed teams at the U8, U10, U12 levels. Boys U14, U16, U18 and Girls U16/U18. Please see the Age/Weight page for parameters in U10, U12, and U14.
