Hawaii Youth Rugby (HYR) was formed in October 2004 with the mission of increasing participation in rugby through a positive culture based upon honoring the game in a safe and fun environment. HYR has grown substantially by joining USA Rugby, the National Rugby Organization, and becoming one of the first State Based Rugby Organizations (SBRO) in 2009. As a functioning Level 3 SBRO, we have the added national support to provide ongoing training, development programs, grant opportunities and more in order for us to grow the game of rugby in Hawaii. New clubs can join today – island wide. They can play in their own island competitions and come together annually for the Hawaii Youth Rugby Invitational Championship and the Hawaii State Championship events which showcase the growing standard of rugby across the islands and attract teams from the US mainland, Canada, New Zealand and Europe.
Since its inception "Creating a rugby o'hana in the spirit of
aloha" has been HYR's motto and it is one which demonstrates our
intent to fuse the best of Hawaii's strong community values with
rugby's tradition of discipline, fair play and sportsmanship. New
players and volunteers are always welcome so get in touch and
become a part of the HYR SBRO o'hana.

Aloha to the Big Island Youth Rugby Ohana,
This weekends quality rugby matches is proof that youth rugby in Hawaii has arrived. The U19 Championship match was one of the best rugby games, I have witnessed all year. There was physical strength ( that's what island rugby is known for) and speed exhibited by all the teams.
U10's agility and speed brought oh's and ah's. U13's was more passing and the pace was faster. U15's brought in tackling. U17's all around skill was much improved and the U19's basically all cylinders were firing.
To all the coaches, players, admin, parents and supporters on the Big Island. Mahalo nui loa for your dedication and time, it really shows at the state championships growth and how well coached our athletes are. Congratulations to the winners of the different the divisions, and also to the U19 Hawaii select side players.
With great rugby respect to everyone engaged in youth rugby,
David Ma'afu Wendt
Hawaii Youth Rugby President.
