Canton Area Middle School Rugby was established in 2008 with teams from Dover and Oakwood and has since expanded to include other schools! Our middle school rugby league is open to any boy or girl in Stark County, as well as adjacent counties/schools with no rugby teams established. We are always looking to promote rugby at all levels, so please reach out and we will assist any area school in establishing a program by providing coaching, resources, and other needs which may arise. 

​

​The middle school season runs roughly March through May.

​

Players will need to purchase football or soccer cleats and a mouth guard if they do not already have them and will need to pay for registration. The cost of registration includes USA Rugby liability insurance, shorts, socks, match jerseys and a t-shirt. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify, please see https://www.cantonrugby.com/dan-sturtz-memorial-scholarship.
