FAQ
What is Rugby Xplorer Registration Through USA Y&HS Rugby?
USA Y&HS registration is separate from our player fees. Here are the reasons we require this in order for you to play.
-
USA Rugby provides insurance to cover our players in the event of an injury for the full season.
-
It allows our players to compete in USA Rugby sanctioned competitions.
-
USA Rugby covers our coaches and players in the event of damages caused to equipment or venue.
-
Compliance allows us to request certified referees for our competitions.
-
USA Rugby allows us to maintain the compliance of our coaches (proper safety training, background checks, etc.).
The fee is currently $36.83, we do not receive any of this money. This is the reason that there is a separate TeamSnap registration for some teams to cover costs.
Will I have to buy a lot of new equipment?
No. Basic rugby equipment includes a mouthguard, cleats, and comfortable athletic wear. All of which are not sport specific. So, you can use the equipment (e.g., soccer cleats, mouth guards) from other sports seasons.
Refund Policy
When registering for a team the player fee you pay on TeamSnap is fully refundable, no questions asked, up until the conclusion of the first week of practices for your selected club. We do this because we want to make sure you are happy, comfortable, and excited to play before you are locked in. This also provides a level of protection for you for complications that arise within the emerging club sports world that are out of your control (e.g., participation numbers).
What about Girls+ Players?
Our girls game is growing slowly, but we know it will boom soon! For right now all of our clubs are co-ed and accepting registrations from all genders. The theory is that this will give girls+ players the ability to play and learn even if we can’t get enough players to create a full team in a given locale. Right now the structure is that 3-7 girls+ players will register for each club and then we will combine these smaller groups to create full teams to compete in games. What we are building towards is each club having their own girls+ team and we hope this structure will allow us to get there soon.
We are a growing club sport in only our second season and this comes with fluctuation in participation that may morph offerings we can provide. We want to be transparent about this. This is especially true right now for our girls game. However, we do not want that to stop you from registering to play! This is why we offer full refunds to player fees up until the conclusion of the first week of practices. This will allow everyone to register and give us a confident sense of participation while also protecting you if for any reason the participation numbers are not up to our goals. So, please register for your local club and know that we will use the official registrations to create the best plans for our girls+ rugby players that we can and that you are protected in the event things don’t work out.
