“We started with six students who were interested in learning the game. We practiced on a median strip in the Bronx because there were no fields available. Today, we have more than 50 boys and girls in our program, and have graduated 30 players from the program in the past two years. 95% of those players have graduated from high school; 85% of those players are in college, and a good number still play rugby.” - Lisa Lake, 2009
