Partnership

The Medical Kit Program is coordinated and initiated by one of US Rugby Foundation's Board Members - Dr. Lyle Micheli

Without the support of Dr. Micheli and the Division of Sports Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, these medical kits would not be available for youth clubs across the US. We appreciate Dr. Micheli and his team for making this happen in hopes to provide rugby organizations with equipment and knowledge to keep players safe.
