Atlanta Youth Rugby Cleat Drive

Giveaway: Win One Week of Summer Camp

June 8, 2021


Atlanta Youth Rugby (AYR)’s mission is to build character and athleticism while fostering diversity, sportsmanship and community in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment.

We operate all over Atlanta serving nearly 3000 kids annually. 45% of our young ruggers are female, 80% identify as ethnic minority, and 85% are from under-resourced zip codes. 

 

Many youth players find themselves lacking in cleats and proper equipment.  AYR is dedicated to outfitting everyone. Throughout June, AYR is hosting a cleat drive to help underserved ruggers in the Atlanta community get on the field and play the greatest team sport!

 

With the community’s help, we can provide cleats to many deserving kids who want to play. Enter to win one week of rugby camp for your prospective rugger this July. Your kid, age 5 to 14, can get an early exposure to one of the fastest growing sports in the United States.  

Donate online or bring a pair of new or gently worn cleats and join us on June 19th at 8 PM as we watch Rugby ATL take on Houston at home. Donation is not required to enter. If you have cleats to donate but cannot make the game? Please send an email to mackidsmyrnavinings@macaronikid.com.
