NEW YORK -- Allisa Reach, a young woman from Queens, is trying to level the playing field for the sport of rugby. It's an NCAA emerging sport, yet few women play.
Reach started playing rugby in the seventh grade. She said few people knew about the sport, and she wanted to be different. When Reach's rugby team folded due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she joined the only other club rugby team for girls in New York City, Play Rugby USA, and set a goal of inspiring more women to fall in love with the sport.
Play Rugby USA coach Ashley Allen said in order to draw more New York City girls into rugby, the sport needs more women coaches who represent potential players' diverse backgrounds."It's very easy to convince a school to have a boys rugby team. It's exponentially more difficult to convince a school to have a girls rugby program," Hundt said.
