The School Season Is Open. Here Is Where to Turn Up.
Fifty dollars covers a whole season of high school rugby in Alpharetta, and if you cannot make the first session, come to the fourth.
Exiles RFC open their high school girls program on Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 7:00 pm on the lower field at Innovation Academy, 125 Milton Avenue. Ages 14 to 18, students from any high school, no experience required, Tuesdays and Thursdays. That fifty dollars covers the entire 2026-27 season, fall sevens and spring fifteens both. The club named its staff two days out: Keliah Newman heads the forwards, Ash Nell takes the backs, Nadia Opperman manages the side. And they said the thing every nervous parent needs to hear, in their own post: August 6 is a first training session and not a registration deadline, and girls are welcome to join at any point in the season.
Rebels Rugby opened fall sevens on Tuesday, August 4, 2026 at Crabapple Field in Roswell Area Park, boys and girls together, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. The first two weeks are open practice and all are welcome to try rugby: touch only, nobody gets tackled, no experience needed. Players must be registered by Friday, August 21 to travel to the Irish Ruggerfest opener in Nashville on Saturday, September 12.
Two more metro clubs run high school rugby and are worth contacting if you are closer to them: Atlanta Youth Rugby and Forsyth County Falcons, both of whom take direct messages. We have asked each of them for fall dates and registration, and they go straight onto the calendar and into this section the moment we have them.
Georgia rugby runs on group texts and word of mouth more than it runs on websites, so if your club has a start date we have missed, send it to us and we will chase it down and publish it.
