Celebrating 28 years, the West Carroll Marauder’s Program began in 1995. The program’s founders were retired and current adult rugby players who felt a youth and high school program would benefit the athletes of Carroll County. The Marauders Rugby Club is sponsored by the West Carroll Recreation Council and the Carroll County Department of Recreation and Parks. The Club is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Union and Rugby Maryland, under the direction of and governed by a division of USA Rugby.  We have two hand touch teams for U9(ages 5-8), U11(ages 9-10), U13(ages 11-12), U16(ages 13-15), High School Boys, Middle School Boys, High School Girls, and Middle School Girls spring tackle teams, as well as High School Girls and Boys Summer and HS Boys and Girls as well as Middle School Girls and Boys Fall 7s teams.  Our middle and high school boys and girls  tackle teams season runs January through mid May.  Our two hand touch youth program, high school tackle girls and boys 7s summer program runs mid May through July.  Our high school boys and girls as well as middle school boys and girls tackle teams fall season runs September through mid November.  Why Rugby?
