CIPP:
In
order to play for in an official rugby match you have to be part of the USA Rugby CIPP program. This requires that you
become CIPP registered. CIPP costs 20$ a year which starts in January. Half year CIPP’s are available
for players signing up later in the year (10$). This has to be paid online here. If you haven't
had an account before with USA Rugby then you will have to create a new account. Then click on "membership registration (yourself
only)" Be
sure to put Florida Atlantic University Men's Rugby, not "At-large".
What is the USA Rugby CIPP program? It stands for Club and Individual
Participation Program. USA Rugby is the national governing body for rugby in the United States. USA Rugby
requires registration of both your club and a minimum of (15) players for each team. In turn, liability
insurance is automatically provided for your club once both requirements have been met.
Why CIPP? To
play sanctioned rugby in the USA or abroad (touring sides), you must have CIPP registration. Playing without proper
certification may lead to forfeiture of matches and possibly further disciplinary actions by the union.
Uniforms Jerseys are provided for by the school. We do not issue jerseys due to
the high cost of them. They are handed out at the start of matches and collected after. You can buy one through American Rugby
Outfitters @ 1(800) Go-Rugby if you like. They have our logo on file, just ask them if they can find it. Shorts and socks: Thanks to the hard work of the coaches.
This year your shorts and socks will be provided when you pay your club dues. Please read the info below about club dues.
If you want anything extra, the best place to buy rugby gear is on-line. Make sure the
color is NAVY in both the shorts and socks. Kooga has some nice stuff. If you can get the Pro K shorts. Our team will get 5% back from all sales through these KooGa links so be sure to tell your friends to come here!
What is the proper uniform? Practice will be blue
shorts and red shirts. Matches are blue socks and shorts and a red shirt. Travel uniform is blue FAU polo’s
and khakis unless stated otherwise.
Social uniforms are blue dress shirts, khaki pants, and FAU rugby ties
unless stated otherwise.
Three red shirts are issued at the start (or soon after) of every semester so there
is no reason to not have one. The blue FAU polo’s are $15 if you don't have one e-mail John at faumensrugby@hotmail.com to be put on the next order.
Club Dues: Club dues are $80, per semester. $65 for a returning player in the spring. Your dues have to be paid before the first game
of each semester or you cannot play in the game. If you have a problem paying this contact a club officer.
We will be able to work something out. Don’t abuse this. Once your club dues are paid you will receive the FAU Ruggers packet which
will include FAU Rugby shirts, team socks, rugby shorts, Florida Rugby Union (FRU), and social fees. Your CIPP
dues are not covered with your club dues. Club dues can be paid in cash
or check made out to FAU Rugby. Cash is preferred. Why do I have to pay club fees? Since our club does not get funding like other sports in the university we are
forced to charge a fee to help cover operational cost such. i.e., travel, referees, training equipment, etc.
