The Foundation Playbook

Playing the long game...

Year-round support at every level.

As the fall season comes to a close and programs begin preparing for spring, it’s a good time to reflect on the support you have for building your career. Tournaments and recruiting events may provide a fantastic experience for a weekend, but USWRF has been committed to the long-term growth of women's rugby since 2005. We support coaches, referees, and administrators at every level—from youth and high school to club and college—throughout the year.

The 2027 WRCRA Conference is just around the corner, taking place from January 15 to 17 in Minneapolis. This three-day event focuses on professional development with no drama—just education. It all happens in one room with key figures who are shaping the future of women’s rugby. If you haven't registered yet, keep in mind that early registration ends November 30th - so cash in on the discounted price while you can.

If you’ve been considering joining, now is the perfect time. Become a member, grab your discount, secure your seat and let’s commit to the long-term success of women's rugby together!
