Great read and the right way to go about developing the game in any country. Kids we the future for any sport, and I wonder about the opportunity for the game to grow in the USA, especially in those kids that don't make the top echelon in football over there.

There are a lot of kids who fit the size and speed profile that we look for in League who never even make it to college football out of high school.

This stuff is more amazing than people realise. Having heard about this from Phil, I would like to congratulate everyone involved.

Good stuff. That's more like what we need around here. Positives about where the vast majority want to take the game. Well done to RIR and Philly.

A next step to what is being done could be to find neighboring school districts willing to set up something similar. If you get just one you have an opponent to maybe introduce these kids to competitive rugby league.

RIR. Are you using a school or a correctional facility?

We are using the providence school system which has 20k kids between Middle and High School and the Correctional Facility which to be honest IDK how many kids it has. We are working with 26 Right Now. 1 Kid is getting released on Tuesday and he is right on time to start training with the RIR.

We want to create 4 jobs for these kids in this training schoool program. IN marketing, Business, advertising and Branding with 210 Brands. A sponsor of the Rebellion/ owners of the License to CCC USA.
Part of their required work will be take coaching and ref courses geared toward our middle school age level participants.

This will allow us to provide not only a Family in the rebellion to be apart of, but a source of employment to help them get their feet off the ground as opposed to going back to selling drugs or whatever it is that got them in their in the first place. If they are in there for selling drugs, the reason is most likely because they dont have a family that is able to provide for them, morally nor financially.
