Spring Season (updated for spring 2025):

The Maine High School Rugby Association (MHSRA) has transformed, and combined powers with programs in other New England states to compete under the umbrella of the New Hampshire-Maine Youth Rugby Union (NHMYRU). More information about this group can be found at here: NHMYRU Homepage
In partnership with the Portland Rugby Football Club, USA Rugby, and the New England Free Jacks, the MHSRA & NHMYRU is bringing rugby to Maine! The boys division will have five teams in ME, based out of these communities: Berwick, Freeport, Portland, Presque Isle and Waterville. The girls division will form a super-regional team that will compete against other high school clubs from New England. Both groups will practice* at Freeport High School on week days (Sundays indoors until the weather allows outdoor practices), and compete in weekend tournaments. The 'Spring Sevens' 7v7 tournaments will align with the spring MPA sports season, running from March through June. A full calendar can be found here, and you can expect updates to come directly from the league managers and team coaches.
*Note: The team will practice outside at Freeport High School on the JBS Turf whenever possible; the Morse Street School Gym is reserved throughout the season in case practices need to be moved indoors.
Registration for this program will be done directly through the NHMYRU Website. Here is a direct link to do so: **Register for the Freeport Seawolves
