The Downingtown Rugby Football Club is a non-profit organization focused on playing, developing, and promoting rugby in the Downingtown area for participants in Grades K through 12. The club was founded in 1996 and is coached and managed by an all-volunteer group of parents, former players, and rugby enthusiasts.
Organizers state the club keeps costs low so children from varied socioeconomic backgrounds can take part. Club expenses cover equipment, uniforms, insurance, coaches' training, medical staff, referees, and field rentals for matches and practices. A rain date is noted and organizers indicate rugby players participate in wet weather as well. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
