"USA Rugby today published its new strategic plan, Strategy 2020, and the accompanying website, rugbystrategy.us, to outline the national governing body's focuses to raise awareness and participation of the game of rugby in the United States."

February 24, 2017 (Read the full press release)

"Developed in three phases between February and July 2016, Strategy 2020 is a comprehensive plan ... designed to promote growth at all levels. Emphasizing development, community rugby, and youth, Strategy 2020 also prioritizes building major markets in order to develop community rugby through a standardized approach that can then serve as a template for cities and regions nationwide."

"Support for Strategy 2020 will come from the self-funded Rugby Business Executives Association (RBEA), a themed community intended to engage rugby professionals to renew their love of the game and use their skill sets and networks for the purposes of raising awareness and participation."

"More than 100 members representing the communities of youth, high school, collegiate, clubs, High Performance, match officials, the National Office, commercial stakeholders, and more were engaged in the development of Strategy 2020."
