We know that the start of the season can be a bit overwhelming so we’re happy to share our annual club reminders and guide!
USA Rugby Club Registration
- Renew your Club Registration with USA Rugby (includes paying Club dues) by Sept 2, 2016
- Have a registered Level 200 coach certified by USA Rugby
- Verify that you have TRU certified TJ/ARs
- Have a minimum of fifteen (15) CIPP’d players on your roster by September 30, 2016 or your first match
Non-compliance Concerns
Don’t feel like making time for all this? You should be concerned that:
- Your club is unable to compete in any competitions, tournaments etc or advance to any USA Rugby events
- Your Club liability insurance through USAR is not valid and your club could be at risk
- The Texas Rugby Referee Association (TRRA) will not assign referees to your events
- Your club could face disciplinary or monetary sanctions!
Note that USA Rugby issues regular reports to the TRU and TRRA on which clubs are compliant and which are not so it won’t be overlooked. Notices from the TRU Admin will go out on a bi-weekly basis starting next week.
