FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR GIRLS RUGBY PROGRAMS

We want to make sure that every child that wants to participate in a Girls Rugby program has the opportunity to do so. We are trying to reduce as many challenges to participation as we can, including financial challenges. Girls Rugby has partnered with Every Kid Sports, a leading national non-profit organization that provides financial support to children of low-income families to pay youth sports registration fees. In an effort to remove the financial barriers that keep kids from playing, encourage the development of multi-sport participation and provide kids with the choice of sport they’d like to play, Girls Rugby will spread the word about the Every Kid Sports Pass in an effort to provide more children with the opportunity to play rugby.

The Pass removes financial barriers to youth sports participation by providing income-restricted families funding up to four times a year, per child, for participation in the sport of their child’s choice. Playing multiple sports exposes kids to greater physical literacy, better socialization, and greater enjoyment in being physically and emotionally active. It prepares them for a lifetime of activity, connection, and positive experiences. For more information or to learn more about Every Kid Sports please visit: www.everykidsports.org.

Every Kid Sports has implemented seasonal application windows where families can apply for the next season. The next application window will be for Fall 2023 seasons and it will open July 18th, 2023
