MINNESOTA YOUTH RUGBYYouth Rugby in Minnesota was started in the spring of 2001 in the fair city of Belle Plaine. The energetic Kiwi, Max Winders and his wonderful wife, Karin introduced the game to a small town in Minnesota with great results. The program took 70 boys and girls ages 6 to 11 and made-up what is now known as the "Belle Plain Barbarians."
Most recently, during the school year of 2002, Dan "DJ" Johnson brought touch rugby to some physical education classrooms at Alice Smith Elementary in Hopkins. With organizational support of Rhonda Smith and coaching by DJ, Thor Bolstad, plus others, youth rugby was launched in Hopkins that spring. Hopkins practices on Saturday mornings, followed by a social of hot dogs, chips and juice.
