wHAT WE DO

 Rugby has grown exponentially in the United States, each year more and younger players pick up the ball and fall in love with the game.  One thing that has not kept pace with the growth of the game is the financing to provide coaching, equipment, talent identification and transportation to national and international events.

From our roots over a decade ago, the USA International Youth Rugby Foundation has been dedicated to growing the international game of rugby here in the United States.  Early successes included funding USA Under-19 national team tours to Australia, Trinidad and Tobago and the Junior World Cup in Chile.

More recently, the Foundation has funded Raptor Rugby Academy tours to the Las Vegas International (where three players were selected to the US national camp) and provided financial support to cover USA Rugby CIPP (national membership) dues, equipment costs and scholarships for elite athletes.

We are always looking for new ways to help grow the game and grow the funds we have available to help the squads. Please contact Dan Hattrup if you want to be a part of the success of rugby in Glendale and the USA.
