The development of youth and high school rugby has been designated as the primary mission of the Foundation. As such, the Foundation has provided numerous grants to meet a wide range of needs: to support and develop youth and high school rugby; to improve coaching and refereeing by promoting the attendance of high school coaches and referees at USA Rugby clinics; accelerating the development of younger promising U.S. rugby players through scholarships and international exchange programs; and to promote the positive image of rugby and its value of sportsmanship.
