In 2025, Girls Rugby continued to expand its mission of empowering girls to reach their potential through sport by delivering youth flag rugby programs combined with a leadership and values-based curriculum for girls ages 614. During the year, Girls Rugby served 1,207 registered participants, including 818 players in seasonal programs and 389 participants in off-season clinics, across 7 states, 12 programs, and 35 locations. Participants engaged in more than 17,000 hours of physical activity through weekly practices and game days designed to promote teamwork, leadership, confidence, and enjoyment of sport. A significant portion of participants were introduced to rugby for the first time, with 41% reporting that 2025 was their first experience playing the sport, demonstrating the organizations continued success in expanding access to new athletes and communities. Girls Rugby's programming is delivered through a combination of dedicated staff and a strong volunteer network. In 2025, 20 program staff members and 172 volunteer coaches supported the organization's operations and on-field delivery. Program evaluation through end-of-season surveys demonstrated strong impact outcomes: 81% of participants reported increased confidence, 86% reported making new friends, and 90% reported becoming better teammates, while 84% of players reported loving the season and 90% loved their coaches. Girls Rugby also prioritizes a family-centered approach, creating inclusive environments where parents and caregivers feel connected to the program and community. These results demonstrate the organization's continued success in using sport as a platform to build leadership skills, foster belonging, and create positive youth development experiences for girls and their families.
