"The iRB and USA Rugby have worked collectively to ensure that safety is a top priority for the sport of rugby. Having been involved for over 15 years, I have been impressed with the level of coaching provided to the athletes who participate in this sport. Through this coaching, the athletes are taught the correct skillset to decrease the risk of injury as well as allowing them to play the game as it was meant to be played."

Parent Committees
The BOD has formed the following committees: Social, Fields, Fund-Raising and Spiritwear. If any parent would like to serve on one of these committees, please let us know. Your assistance will allow the coaching staff to focus on player and team preparation.

An additional team in the Berwyn/Cicero area is in the works; a team from Wisconsin has been in discussions with iYRA about joining our league. In addition, the organization is looking at creating an Illinois select side team to compete at the annual Midwest Select Side Tournament in Elkhart.
