The West Hartford Black Hearts Rugby team will begin practice for its 16th season of U19 high school rugby in late February, and will again include the girls program that was launched last year.

Submitted

The Spring 2026 season is gearing up for the West Hartford Blackhearts Rugby Club. The U19 club is open to high school boys and girls. The team competes against other high school clubs and varsity teams from around Connecticut in a season that runs from March to June.

Get off the bench and get in the game! Everyone gets the ball, and everyone can score.

All it takes to get started is a signed parent waiver and there is no commitment to try! No rugby experience is needed, and players of all sizes and shapes are welcome.

Bring the completed waiver to your first practice and you’re playing rugby!

Practices begin in late February and alternate between the Hall and Conard turf fields.
