It's great to hear all your hard work is paying off. I live in Idaho and we are just getting around to having a few high school teams. In the last two years we have gone from two teams to six or seven. It's been great. I play for the university here…

The United States is probably the most powerful country in the world but in Rugby terms is a progressing Nation. It should be up there competing with the likes of NZ, SA, AUS etc...lets use this group to promote Rugby in the USA.

Social Media + Rugby = Greatness

I coach kids. Young adults. The Youth. In America, rugby is small. Its less than small. Rugby doesn’t register with the consciousness of the youth except for negative stereotypes like “crazy” and “dangerous.” Sames goes for the parents, school officials and too often, the general public as well.

Its important for me as a coach, having no direct public access to kids, to communicate with them about rugby in a safe environment. I’m not a teacher or a parent. I don… Continue

There is no "off-season"

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. - Marie Curie

“A lion sleeps in the heart of every brave man.”

– Turkish Proverb

I coach the Eastside Lions and this is my first year. I have now seen the team grow from a core of 8 boys playing touch rugby in November, to over 20 kids, 14-19, who enjoy and love the game.

The median age of our club hovers around 15.5, yet we will play several clubs who average 17-18, during our season. We welcome the challenge and opportunity to learn from our opponents and to expect the absolute best out of ourselves.

Ye… Continue
