CIPP/Dues/Gear
CIPP stands for Club and Individual Participation Program, but is basically synonymous with membership in USA rugby. The main reason to get it is that you will not be playing rugby in the United States without it, but it does also have side benefits like 15% off certain hotels. Included in being CIPPed is liability insurance in case you run over a ref or bystander at a match.
New for Fall 2011, being CIPPed provides you with health insurance for rugby-related injuries, including during travel to and from a match. There is a significant deductible that is worse if you do not have primary insurance, so it is still highly encouraged that you maintain your own primary health insurance. The downside of this is that the cost of being CIPPed has gone up from $35 to $45 per year.
Membership expires August 31rst, so if you CIPPed in the Fall you do not need to in the Spring. If you are CIPPed with another team, you will need to transfer to our team.
Dues for the Fall season will be $75 per player, or $50 if this is your first season with us. Dues are payable to club Treasurer Mike Milliman. Checks should be made out to NNRFC. Now you can also pay online below! Club dues go to the purchase of equipment, game jerseys, fees for referees, and socials for after home games among other things and are essential to keep the club running. Note that dues are per season, not per year.
The team offered four items of gear for sale last fall: rugby shorts with the team's logo embroidered, socks in the team color, a warmup jersey, and a polo. Proceeds from the sale of these items directly benefit the club, but our main goal here is to make us look like a cohesive team on the field, while warming up for a game, or when at a block party. We will be gauging demand and possibly placing another order early in the Spring as we are sold out of everything but socks now.Orders for gear should be placed with Vice President Ken Durbin.
You can now pay for dues and gear online with Paypal! Both Paypal accounts and credit cards are accepted.
