🏉 ‘Get Into Rugby’ Program
With the U.S. Women’s 7s team at the heart of this campaign, YHS aims to inspire more young women to get involved in rugby. Our ‘Get Into Rugby’ initiative is growing strong, helping introduce the game to new players of all genders across the country. This initiative aims to inspire more young athletes to pick up the game by showcasing the athleticism, camaraderie, and community that this amazing sport brings to everyone.
With fun, inclusive, and accessible programming, we’re ensuring the next generation discovers a love for rugby. Interested in starting a program in your community? Learn More Here.
📈 Registration Growth
We are proud to report an 11% increase in overall registrations for Q1 from this time last year, with an 18% increase in female registrations! This growth reflects the impact of the ‘Get Into Rugby’ program and the tireless work of coaches, clubs, and volunteers who are driving our mission forward.
Thank you for being a part of this momentum as we continue to build rugby at the youth and high school levels.
Let’s keep the energy going throughout the 2024/25 season. Whether you’re a player, parent, coach, or supporter, your involvement makes all the difference.
