Resources during a period of social distancing

Rocky Mountain Rugby and USA Rugby have currently suspended all rugby activities. Per USA Rugby's suspension of rugby activities, teams that attempt to train during this period do so unsanctioned and without insurance. Rocky Mountain Rugby (RMR) has also cancelled all rugby matches. RMR organizers realize that teams may wish to train and practice. This is heavily discouraged but outside of Rocky Mountain Rugby's control.

During the period in which rugby activities are suspended, Rocky Mountain Rugby encourages teams to stay interconnected with each other through online platforms (social media, texting, Face Time, etc.). Teams can/should also have "virtual" practices and trainings through their desired platforms.

The lifting of the suspension period will go quicker if we all do our part to control the outbreak by limiting contact with others. Social distancing is one of the most effective methods of controlling the spread, and we encourage members to only engage in essential activities and limit social situations. If social distancing will affect your mental health, please be prepared and do not be discouraged from contacting a professional for help. Please, remember to wash your hands and follow the CDC's recommendations on matters such as cleaning and disinfection, etc.
