PEARLS JUNIOR (High School Students)
Passing on the future of women's rugby to the next generation.
PEARLS JUNIOR operates as a girls' rugby club at two schools in its hometown of Yokkaichi City: Yokkaichi Maryknoll Academy High School and Mie Prefectural Yokkaichi Agricultural High School, with the aim of promoting women's rugby in the region and developing the next generation of players.
Yokkaichi Maryknoll Academy High School achieved a remarkable feat in 2025 by winning the 8th All-Japan U18 Women's Sevens Rugby Football Tournament for the first time.
Furthermore, Mie Prefectural Yokkaichi Agricultural High School, as a leading women's rugby team in the Tokai region, continues to engage in community-based activities while also pursuing challenges with a national perspective.
Both schools operate their clubs through industry-government-academia collaboration and work with the local community to promote and develop players.
