Canton Area Flag Rugby was established in 2016 with the Little Pups flag rugby. Our flag rugby league is open to kids from Stark County, as well as adjacent counties/schools who have no rugby team 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 flag rugby season runs roughly March to May.

 

The programs generally include kids in grades K-2 and 3-5, however, some teams are reducing that span due to limited coaching staff. If you are interested in coaching, please let us know. All coaches must go through a background check process before they are able to participate.
 

It is recommended that players purchase football or soccer cleats if they do not already have them and will need to pay for registration. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify, please see https://www.cantonrugby.com/dan-sturtz-memorial-scholarship.
