In an effort to help grow rugby in the USA at the youth and high school level, World Rugby Shop is unveiling a new RugbyBall4All program designed to help get rugby balls into the hands of youth and high school rugby players from around the country.

For each ‘RugbyBall4All’ ball a customer purchases, World Rugby Shop will donate one high quality Gilbert rugby ball to a World Rugby Shop Youth Rugby Ball Fund. The ball fund will then be distributed annually to deserving youth and high school rugby programs from around the country.

All youth organizations and teams are encouraged to submit an application. Organizations with strong growth initiatives, outreach programs or existing programs which are in desperate need of balls will be considered first. World Rugby Shop is also partnering with organizations already fostering rugby’s growth in the United States including USA Rugby, the US Rugby Football Foundation and Play Rugby USA to help reach the most deserving programs as efficiently as possible.

“We are as excited about this program as we have been about anything we have ever done," World Rugby Shop CEO Bernard Frei told Rugby Rugby. "We all know that if Rugby is going to develop as quickly as it can we all have to pitch in and do our part to make sure our youth have the chance to play. With this program World Rugby Shop is committing itself to growing the game from the bottom up and we are doing our part to make America as great a rugby nation as well all know it can be.”

The rugby balls players and coaches need for practices, matches and camps now can not only support growth at their local club, but provide an opportunity for other clubs around the country in need. And since the RugbyBall4All.com ball is the same high quality Gilbert ball players and fans are familiar with, customers who buy these balls can rest easy that they are getting a great ball while aiding America's youth and high school rugby players.

So don't wait, pick up your own RugbyBall4All.com ball today and Grow the Game!
