Rugby registration is open for our Girls and Boys high school teams.

Our Varsity Girls are looking to defend their State Championship after embarking on their first tour of Scotland over spring break. Our Varsity Boys are continuing to rebuild after our 2021 State Championship and once again expect to compete at the top.

WE NEED PLAYERS. No experience is necessary. In rugby, everybody plays, everybody carries the ball, and everybody tackles. Rugby suits all body shapes and sizes, and teaches explosiveness, decision-making, and agility. Rugby is the only spring sport that teaches safe and highly effective tackling to improve HS football player performance and avoid injury. We are an ISD 196 club sport, meaning Varsity players may earn their letter.

Practice begins on March 1st (8:30PM @TCO Dome-Lakeville North) and the season runs through the end of the school year. More information, including registration links, may be found at https://www.eaasports.org/rugby.

We are experiencing concerns with damage to restrooms - especially boys restrooms. When that happens the restroom has to be closed for cleaning/repair and that makes it unavailable for student use for a period of time. Please report, using this anonymous method, the information about this problem. Thanks

Eagan High School is committed to engaging students in activities that foster the knowledge, skills and habits of mind necessary to be active learners, purposeful thinkers and responsible citizens.
