Kenmore Rugby Announces Flag Festival!

The Kenmore Rugby Club is excited to announce that we will be hosting our first annual Flag Festival on Friday, August 22nd!

This summer, the Club has partnered with Camp Centerland at the JCC of Greater Buffalo, the Ken-Ton YMCA, and the Boys & Girls Club of the Northtowns to offer introductory flag rugby programming at summer camps within our community. Members of the coaching staff, and high school players in the Club’s Leadership Pathway, have been visiting camps since the beginning of July, and preparing campers to enter the Club’s Flag Festival, and compete in a tournament at the end of the summer. High School Players in the Leadership Pathway will be the Head Coaches of the teams at the respective camps they have been visiting.
