PIAA Emerging 25 Sport RugbyPA

Bring Rugby to Your School - PIAA Announces New Emerging Sport Classification

What is an Emerging Sport

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Board of Directors approved the creation of an Emerging Sport classification during the summer of 2021. Much like the NCAA's Emerging Sports, this classification allows sports with smaller levels of school participation to have a pathway to achieve full sponsorship by the PIAA.

The Emerging 25

PIAA policy states that a sport will be consider fully sponsored when the number of member senior high schools with programs reaches 100. The new emerging sport classification will require only 25 schools per gender to sponsor the sport, including varsity, club, and co-op based programs. Rugby PA is in the process of getting 25 school based programs, for both boys and girls, to commit to participating in a new Scholastic Sevens Season.

Next Steps

Rugby PA is committed to working with anyone who is interested in starting a new school based team. Whether that's a high school varsity program or club team, we are here to help! No matter if you are an Athletic Director, Teacher, Parent, Player, or ex-rugger, you can be a catalyst for a new team.

Please complete our Prospect Form using the link below. This will allow us to know your intentions, and to ensure Rugby PA is supporting you in every way that we can. If you have any questions, please contact Rugby PA Executive Director Dylan Hamilton.
