Old Glory DC knows building rugby champions takes a strong mission, strategic focus, clear vision, and solid community support.
Our goal is clear: transform the Mid-Atlantic into the premier rugby hub of the United States. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we aim to drive increased rugby participation by providing more opportunities for engagement at all levels of play.
We aim to create a safe and supportive environment where young athletes can learn and excel in rugby. Our initiative will integrate professional rugby resources into targeted youth programs to foster high-level player and coach development.
The U.S. will host the 2031 Rugby World Cup, giving the current generation of high school and college athletes an opportunity to represent their country on home soil. We’ll actively develop future players via professional coaching and expanded representative rugby opportunities.
Simon Cross brings a wealth of professional rugby experience to Young Glory, having served as Head Coach of Old Glory DC for three seasons and guiding the club to three consecutive playoff appearances. Throughout his career, Simon has been passionate about developing players, building strong rugby environments, and helping athletes reach their potential. Now, as part of the Young Glory program, Simon is focused on identifying and developing the region’s next generation of rugby talent, helping young athletes build the skills, confidence, and foundation needed to pursue the professional game.
Building champions takes a community. And that community is YOU! Your donations support the Young Glory Academy system to provide more opportunities for children to learn and play rugby. These programs will nurture a thriving Mid-Atlantic rugby community that spans youth, high school and senior men’s rugby. Let’s work together to inspire a new generation of rugby players and cultivate a lifelong passion for the game.
