This Spring the Jonesboro Parks and Recreation Department is partnering with the Jonesboro Chiefs RFC, a Men’s Rugby Club to offer Rookie Rugby to the Citizens of Jonesboro.
The Junior Chiefs Rugby Club is a self paid program dedicated to giving children in Northeast Arkansas the chance to participate in the game of Rugby. Rugby is rapidly growing in popularity in the United States, especially here in Northeast Arkansas, and the success of the Arkansas State University Rugby program over the years has brought about a new level of interest in this area.
