2026 Spring Escondido Flag Rugby League

The Legion Community Foundation partners with the Escondido Unified School District's (EUSD) Expanded Learning Opportunities Program to deliver the Escondido Flag Rugby League as part of EUSD's after-school programming.

LCF delivers high-quality, non-contact after-school rugby programs that introduce students to an exciting global sport while strengthening the character and values that define rugby:

• RESPECT
• TEAMWORK
• DISCIPLINE
• INTEGRITY
• SPORTSMANSHIP

Through fun, high-energy sessions led by trained community coaches, students develop movement fundamentals, confidence, and leadership skills - supporting physical fitness and social-emotional development.

• NO RUGBY EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
• SAFE, FUN, NON-CONTACT FLAG RUGBY
• OPEN TO BOYS & GIRLS

Our program ensures a safe and enriching experience grounded in California Physical Education standards, providing a welcoming environment for all students and helping build school pride and a strong sense of belonging.

Why rugby? Why now?

Rugby is an Olympic sport, and interest in the game is skyrocketing across the United States.

• 2028 LA OLYMPICS
• 2031 MEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP - USA
• 2033 WOMEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP - USA

With the USA Women’s Rugby 7s team set to defend their 2024 Olympic bronze medal at the 2028 LA Olympics, now is the perfect moment to empower students with access to rugby’s fast-growing future and inclusive culture.
