Hello,
Wisconsin Youth Rugby is operating a grant opportunity for Schools in Wisconsin to provide Rugby Kits, balls and flags, to Physical Education Teachers who will implement flag rugby as a piece of their curriculum. The program also provides information about what ways rugby meets State of Wisconsin school curriculum standards.
Teachers can request the grant through filling out the form below. Keep in mind, it will likely take 6 months to go through the processing and get the items to the teacher.
Similarly, we can work with WYR or Oshkosh Rugby to provide people who know rugby to help at in-services, or even at the classes for some preliminary teaching of rugby in conjunction with the Phy. ed. teachers.
For viability, consider that Stevens Point School District has implemented rugby K-12.
If you have any questions let us know.
With you.
