October 20, 2016 RE: Eligibility Review
Goff Rugby Report is still fielding comments regarding youth and high school rugby - comments USA Rugby is soliciting to help formulate a plan for the future.
We will be posting a few more comments in a bit, and addressing some of the player-coaching issues in the future, also. But today we will address the issue of select sides on the youth level.
White Plains, NY - United World Sports today announced that Dan Lyle, Executive Vice President, Sponsorships has resigned his position effective immediately. Lyle will be joining AEG to help expand their rugby platform in the United States and abroad. UWS and AEG are working as potential partners on several to be announced rugby projects in the United States.
It’s time to follow up on my column about youth rugby and USA Rugby’s efforts to solicit opinions about its direction.
