Join the Exiles Rugby Academy

Exiles Rugby Academy offers a full pathway from Minis (U8) through U19 (High School, Ages 14–18), open to all players—no experience needed. U19 is open to students from all schools, homeschoolers, and high school graduates who have not reached age 19 before September 1. Our U19 Boys program is led by Head Coach Bernie Magoon, one of Georgia's longest-tenured high school rugby head coaches, bringing decades of rugby experience and a deep understanding of developing young players at every level.

We keep Academy (Youth) rugby affordable, with U19 club fees just $125 for the full club year, including Fall and Spring rugby. There are no additional city participation fees or required uniform fees, and the club subsidizes team travel whenever possible to help keep costs low for our families, while maintaining a high-quality rugby experience.

Off-season Exiles runs weekly, non-contact touch rugby sessions throughout the late spring and summer, free of charge, keeping players active, learning, and connected to the Club. U19 players also have opportunities to compete in 7s.

THE EXILES APPROACH TO YOUTH RUGBY

Build Players. Build the Game.

Exiles Rugby Academy takes a long-term approach to youth rugby. Our objective is not simply to create teams or fill age brackets. We want to develop confident, skilled rugby players who understand the game, enjoy playing it and remain connected to rugby for years to come.

For younger and newer players, development begins with the fundamentals: passing, catching, running, spatial awareness, decision-making, communication and confidence with the ball. We believe these skills should be learned before contact becomes the focus. Exiles does not introduce tackle rugby before U12.

Our Saturday Minis program provides younger children with an age-appropriate introduction to rugby built around movement, skills, friendship and fun. During the late spring and summer, Exiles also offers free non-contact touch rugby, giving young players additional opportunities to learn and play without adding another participation fee.

As players develop, we progressively introduce the technical, tactical and physical elements of the full game. New players are welcomed at every stage and are coached according to their experience rather than expected to arrive already knowing rugby.

Exiles Rugby Academy is part of a complete rugby club. The pathway does not end when a player finishes high school. Academy players can continue into senior men's and women's rugby, coaching, volunteering, social membership and lifelong involvement in the game.

Our measure of success is not how many teams we can list on a website. It is how many young people become confident rugby players, good teammates and lifelong members of the rugby community.

Develop the player. Grow the person. Build the Club.
