IGR International Gay Rugby, based in London, is all about inclusivity and diversity in rugby 🏉. Dave, one of the organisers, ensures a safe and welcoming space for everyone, especially gay and lesbian players.
Dave's team is connected with clubs across the globe 🌍, like York R I Templars in England and the Liverpool Tritons. These clubs offer LGBT+ players the chance to play, improve their skills, and compete on various levels.
IGR's leagues feature regular matches and tournaments, providing a friendly and supportive environment where players can bond and enjoy the sport. A highlight is the Union Cup, drawing teams worldwide for some top-notch competition.
Beyond the field, Dave and IGR tackle social issues affecting the LGBT+ community with action groups that raise awareness and fight discrimination in rugby and beyond.
Dave's mission with IGR is simple: break down barriers and promote equality in rugby, making sure everyone feels welcome, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity 🌈. Through member clubs, leagues, and action groups, Dave and IGR are creating a positive, inclusive space for all rugby lovers.
