up children please email [email protected]
or call 703-760-9837 for more information.
The
cost of registration will be $75.00 each.
Sponsorship (Click to see more about sponsoring MYI Rugby)
While
rugby is not a very expensive sport per individual there are costs associated
with managing a league and any donations or sponsors are welcome. Estimated costs to start a youth program
range from $1500 – $5000 depending on participation. We expect about 30 participants initially. Therefore we will need approximately $1800
to purchase jerseys, flags, balls, cones, ball bags, paint for lining fields,
goal pads, referees, etc. So please
think about sponsoring or donating to youth rugby. Thank you.
We
are looking for coaches… we will train you in the non-contact rules…rugby
experience not necessary but preferred for coaching. Other administrative offices will be available and we can always
use help.
