Why This Matters

Kids in Los Angeles are facing a real crisis: only 1 in 3 plays sports regularly. That means thousands of young people are missing out on movement, stress relief, and the confidence and leadership skills that come from structured play after school.

How Rugby LA Is Changing That

This year, 2,000 kids participated in Rugby LA’s free after-school programming — gaining confidence, connection, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

“Most girls at my school play basketball. I was one of four girls who wanted to do something different, and the rugby team gave me that opportunity. I hope it helps show other girls that we can play any sport we want to!”
Krystal, Age 14
