Run by the people
on the touchline
We exist to make rugby accessible, safe and joyful for every young person in North Carolina. We sanction competition, certify coaches and referees, safeguard players, and build pathways from a child's first tag game all the way to the NC All Stars.
The Union's job
Sanction competition
We set the fixture calendar, register teams by age grade, and run the state championships.
Certify and support coaches
Coach education, safeguarding certification and a conference every season.
Safeguard players
Concussion protocol, Emergency Action Plans and codes of conduct enforced at every venue.
Grow new clubs
We help volunteers stand up new programs — affiliation, insurance, kit and a first set of fixtures.
