MEMPHIS, TN – This is, without question, one of our most important shows under the Rugby Wrap Up umbrella… EVER. Indeed, this MLR Weekly deals with the actual changing of lives through rugby. Shane Young, after helping build Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) into the life-altering juggernaut that it is, is taking the successful MICR template, a “how-to” program for inner-cities across the USA, to Florida. His new challenge is with Urban Rugby America.
Here are some the amazing things they’ve accomplished:
-America’s first poverty-fighting youth rugby initiative
-Disrupting poverty and cultivating economic upward mobility
-Closing academic deficits and expanding opportunity
-Trauma informed coaching model for healing and social-emotional growth
You will want to hear/see him speak. It ain’t lip-service.
ALSO: Bryan Ray of Americas Rugby News is back from his Northwest Territory walkabout to weigh in on:
-Women’s Rugby World Cup
-MLR Draft
-Pacific Nations Cup
