The Next Phase Rugby app os now available on Android.

The app was always usable on web browsers but now has an Android-specific app for Android devices. The app allows users to access all the features of Next Phase Rugby on Android and IOS devices.

Next Phase Rugby is an app (and sponsorship partner of GRR) that helps connect high school rugby players with college rugby programs around the USA. It is an easy, inexpensive, and vital part of any high school rugby player's college search. To download the app, go to NextPhaseRugby.com or, for Android, go to your app store. 

The Next Phase Rugby App is helpful for rugby players even if they are just starting out or aren't on teams that win major championships. It is also useful for college rugby programs even if they are student-run clubs. You can still use it to recruit players.

"I was skeptical at first to be honest but I have found it really useful and worth the money," said Marist Head Coach James Kimberley. "It gives you visibility to kids that are interested in playing at the next level. I really like how it gives you certain criteria per student that includes GPA, Graduation year, Primary and Secondary position, and you can request their contact details. Beyond that I think it's great that we can create a profile and draw interested parties to us. There is no visibility for me to other team profiles or the user experience for the kids, but on my end I can see who 1) views my profile, 2) follows our team and 3) they will let you know every time your profile is viewed [so] you can see if someone is checking multiple times. The app has increased our recruit pool dramatically, in terms of kids we are actually talking to and I believe it has doubled our total applications for 2022. 

"The App has increased our recruit pool dramatically" - Marist Head Coach James Kimberley.

Once you download the app you can set up your account at NextPhaseRugby.com, and after a very short verification process, you can log in ether on a web browser or directly on the app on your device.
