Ricky Darryl Schroeder (born 5 January 1991 in Worcester) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Kings in Super Rugby. His regular position is scrum-half.
He came up through the Western Province youth ranks, representing them at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2007 and the Under-18 Craven Week tournaments in 2008 and 2009.
In 2010, he was included in the Western Province U19 team for the Under-19 Provincial Championship competition, where he made thirteen appearances. He also captained a side that contained future Springboks such as Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi and Frans Malherbe and eventually won the title, beating the Blue Bulls U19 in the final.
He almost repeated the feat in 2012 with the Western Province U21 side, starting thirteen of their fourteen games during the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship season, but this time ending on the losing side against the Blue Bulls U19 team.
He also represented the UCT Ikey Tigers in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 Varsity Cup competitions, picking up another winner's medal in 2011, making four appearances during the campaign, although he was an unused substitute in the final against UP Tuks.
His first class debut came during the 2012 Vodacom Cup season, coming on as a late substitute for Nic Groom in their first match of the season against near neighbours Boland Cavaliers. He appeared an additional four times in that competition, as well as being an unused substitute on five occasions. He made one further appearances for them during the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition.
