ABOUT US

The Ohio Youth Rugby Assocaition was created in 2007 to grow rugby in the Ohio Union. The OYRA took the name 'Rugby Ohio' and is governing the High School leagues and developing youth non-contact rugby.

We have partnered with Community based organizations like the YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, and parks and recreation departments to introduce rugby to children ages 5-12 in a non contact form.

The High School rugby in the Ohio Union is a strong and vibrant part of the game. Ohio has led the way in High School rugby. New teams are growing every year and the potential for more growth is endless.

Our full time Executive Director, Chris Hopps, was hired in January of 2008. His focus and the goal of the entire organization will be to professionalize the structure and administration of Rugby while bringing safety and consistency to the game across the Ohio Union.

We need volunteers of all kinds to make this dream a reality. Please contact Chris to get involved.
