USA Youth and High School Rugby Congratulates the USA Women's Rugby Team on Olympic Bronze

August 6, 2024

We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the USA Women's 7's Rugby Team for their outstanding achievement in securing the bronze medal at the Olympic Games. This incredible accomplishment is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the growing strength of rugby in the United States.

The journey to Olympic success is paved with countless hours of training, teamwork, and determination. Our Women's Rugby Team has not only showcased their remarkable skills on the global stage but also embodied the spirit of resilience and excellence that defines America. Their bronze medal victory is a source of immense pride and inspiration for us all.

As we celebrate this historic moment, we cannot understate the excitement of the next decade of rugby ahead with a home Olympics in 2028 and two World Cups in 2031 and 2033. Adding to this excitement, Michele Kang will gift $4 million over the course of four years to the USA Women's Rugby Sevens team as it looks to grow the sport and provide improved resources to its players and coaching staff in anticipation of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The success of our national team, coupled with such generous support, serves as a beacon of hope and motivation for young athletes across the country. It demonstrates that with passion, perseverance, and the right support, achieving greatness is within reach.

In recent years, USA Youth and High School Rugby has witnessed a surge in interest and participation. More young players are picking up the ball, joining teams, and discovering the joy and camaraderie that rugby offers. This rise in popularity is fueled not only by the achievements of our elite athletes but also by our concerted efforts to promote the game at the grassroots level.

We're on a mission to inspire a rugby revolution, building on the success of our national teams. Our goal is to establish rugby as the premier youth sport across America, captivating players, families, and communities alike. Through developing comprehensive resources and programs for youth, high school students, parents, and coaches, we're creating an environment where young players can thrive and potentially become future Olympians. This grassroots approach lays the foundation for the next generation of rugby stars who will represent our nation on the global stage. 

As we look ahead, we are excited about the future of rugby in the United States. The success of our Women's Rugby Team at the Olympics is a shining example of what can be achieved with hard work and dedication. It inspires us to dream bigger, work harder, and support each other on and off the field.

Congratulations once again to the USA Women's Rugby Team on their remarkable achievement. Thank you for being such incredible ambassadors of the game and for inspiring the next generation of rugby players. Together, we will continue to grow the sport and reach new heights.
