Horizons Initiative

Developing the Next Generation of Women Coaches, Referees, and Administrators

The Horizons Initiative seeks to strategically increase the numbers of women coaches and referees in the U.S. by funding certification courses for women. In addition to regular Zoom meetings and course certification, the program builds support systems throughout the women’s rugby community for participants and leverages our network to connect participants to a range of coaching and refereeing opportunities.
