The Right of Passage: Youth Rugby Partnership

One of my favorite things to talk about is youth rugby. I've had the opportunity to share my love of this sport with youth through working with my club, New York Rugby's under 19 teams (NYRC) as well as through coaching with Play Rugby USA (PRUSA). Both organizations have partnered to develop a youth development rugby program that targets girls while growing the numbers of female coaches. The proposed program, The Right of Passage, has been submitted to Nike's and Ashoka's "“Gamechangers: Change the Game for Women in Sport” Collaborative Competition, which aims to find innovative solutions and catalyze a community of changemakers around the use of sport to improve community, accelerate development and drive social change for girls and women."
