Membership
New to the area? Looking for a competitive team sport? We would love to have you on the team! We welcome any experience level jand anyone 18 and over.
Dues will be around $50 for rookies and around $75 for vets. The exact amount varies from season to season and will be announced in the first few weeks of practice. Dues must be paid before you play in the first match. For more information on dues, including payment plan details, please contact team Treasurer, Kim Million: millionkl24@gmail.com
CIPP Information
Before the first game, you will need to be CIPPed (registered as an official team member). If you are not CIPPed, you cannot play in a league match. That is league rules, not team rules...any team with a non-CIPPed player playing in a league match automatically forfeits. To CIPP yourself, visit the USA Rugby website. Click on the Create/Renew Individual Membership. It will run you through your basic information, etc. and ask what team you are playing for. Our team is listed as Indianapolis Women's Rugby Football Club.
Forms
Please print the following forms and bring them to practice. You will not be eligible to play with the Hoydens unless your waiver and Emergency contact forms are submitted to team President, Jodi Leonard.
