GRR: Major League Rugby
Last week the the United States Rugby Players Association (USRPA) announced it was calling for voluntary recognition as the players’ collective bargaining representative by Major League Rugby (MLR) through the launch of their organizing campaign RugbyUnionNow.com.
More than 80 young rugby players braved the cold weather for the latest High-Performance Clinic with Old Glory Academy Director Ben Cima.
This group included high school and middle school boys and girls. Instruction was blended with games to reinforce the skills taught at the clinic.
Old Glory DC Rugby is supporting a separate non-profit to develop young rugby players in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area.
Young Glory is a non-profit that provides sporting opportunities in rugby for kids from the age of five years old up to 23. They work throughout the DMV area and even further afield, including Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Major League Rugby (MLR) has announced that its 2023 season will begin with matches on February 17, 2023.
Thirty-nine college players from universities in the USA and Canada were officially drafted into Major League Rugby Thursday night.
