The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg is a rugby club in Luxembourg founded in 2019 and officially affiliated with the Luxembourg Rugby Union in July 2020.[1] The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg are the fifth rugby club created in Luxembourg[2] and they are based in the commune of Kopstal-Bridel,[3] which is part of the Canton of Capellen in the southwestern part of Luxembourg-city.
The Rugby Eagles Luxembourg started their activities in the 2019-2020 season and their pedagogical approach is exclusively a child-centered rugby project.[4] This approach mixes non-contact forms of rugby for youngster players with traditional forms of rugby for the more experienced players and uses a specific coaching method that helps children develop into autonomous, creative and decision-making players.[5]
Since its inception, the Rugby Eagles Luxembourg has developed at a steady pace, reached more than 100 members during the 2022-2023 season and officially affiliated with the French Rugby Federation in October 2022.[6]
