At NERFU the health and safety of rugby players comes first and foremost. The COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious threat to players, supporters, and the communities we live and play in. We are just as eager to return to the game as any player and adhering to the guidance of state and federal CDC’s ensures the quickest path to do so. NERFU has assigned state coordinators to monitor the latest guidance and mandates and we’ve compiled those resources here.
