Our club had more of a start than a founding. Jamie Graves, a parent and former Rugby player, gathered local neighborhood kids & their schoolmates to have a go at trying rugby. We had one U-9 team in the TRY league during the 2006 season. The kids came up with the team name that first season and so we are the Denver Lions. In order to have more kids at other ages playing rugby, many parent volunteers and local rugby players have stepped forward, allowing the club to expand from one U-9 team to a group of players that compete in all age groups from, U8 to Middle School. We have also formed partnerships with the local North High School Vikings and a local men's club, The Denver Barbarians (Barbos) providing a pathway for youth players to continue their rugby journey beyond the Lions. The Lions players proudly wear the Barbos insignia on the backs of their jerseys and Barbo coaches have brought their rugby expertise to the club helping the Lions grow into confident, skilled, players.
