Registration

Texas Rugby Union Membership is OPEN!

Clubs can register there clubs and this will allow players to register under your club for the 2021-22 Season.

You have two options when registering (as a player) this year:

Register in full and pay TRU dues/full USA Rugby Membership dues. This will cover you for the year and you will NOT have to pay again until August 2022.
Register under the training membership. This is a discounted membership option brought on because of the COVID pandemic. This provides the additional insurance should anything happen during a training session while we wait to resume regular play. If you register under this option you will be required to upgrade your membership to the Full Membership before competitive rugby resumes.

Both options will ensure you are covered at local practices, provided they are following the Return to Play protocols. So for example, if we are in Stage 3, and you are injured tackling someone – you’re not covered because you’re not supposed to be tackling!
