GRR: Youth
Not every state has sidelined sports, and in fact in Idaho youth rugby got a surprise call to get on the field this summer.
The Old Glory DC Major League Rugby team has unveiled an ambitious plan to support the game in communities around the region.
Throughout February, Old Glory will be supporting youth and high school events, some being high-level skills clinics, and others being rugby days designed to increase interest among young kids.
The Southern California Youth Rugby has embraced the LA Invitational and the LA Sevens, and the tournament weekend, February 28-March 1, and the organization leadership thinks the value is more than just being available to play a few rugby games.
Great Falls Village in Virginia was a busy place this past Sunday as Great Falls Youth Rugby hosted its sixth annual tournament to benefit the spinal cord injury Adaptive Sports programs at MedStar National Rehabilitation Network.
This annual charity event is dear to the heart of Gary Coetzee, president of Great Falls Rugby and himself a spinal cord injury survivor.
The Austin Herd is hosting a combine this weekend that will also serve to be an outreach day for young rugby players throughout the Austin, Texas region and a chance for rugby players of all ages to see an international superstar.
