IN ORDER TO PRACTICE AND/OR COMPETE IN ANY RUGBY-RELATED COMPETITION, THE FOLLOWING REGISTRATION CONDITIONS MUST BE MET BY A CLUB IN ORDER TO MAKE THAT CLUB ‘COMPLIANT’:

  2. There must be at least 8+ players registered to the club in Rugby Xplorer for the current membership year, regardless of whether the club/team is playing 15s or 7s.
  3. There must be at least one appropriately compliant coach registered to the club in Rugby Xplorer for the current membership year. (Please note: only one compliant coach is required for the purposes of a club being considered 'compliant'. This does not imply other coaches at that club do not also need accreditation. For example, any coach coaching tackle rugby must be World Rugby Level 1 compliant.
  4. All clubs and individuals must follow all USA Rugby Eligibility Regulations, as listed in the tabs above per level of play, as well as all Local Governing Union regulations and procedures. A club's compliance status is public, and can be found here: https://usa.rugby/play-rugby-today
