CIPPing and Registering with USA Rugby

---

CIPPing with USA Rugby  is very important as it provides you with some form of insurance and liability.  It is written in the AKRFC bylaws that any player that does not CIPP, will not be eligible to play in matches.  We check the USA Rugby Roster prior to each match.  For returning players: subscription expire August 31st of each year and must be renewed.
(If you need help with payment for this please notify your Team Captain immediately so we can work something out.)
