Rugby in the United States is not a big sport at all. Arkansas State University is one of the few universities in the US that compete at the highest level possible. With two national championships under their belt and more in sight, the future for rugby in the states is looking bright.
Arkansas State did not achieve success by mediocre recruitment tactics. It is known to have a large international influence from countries such as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The recruitment process is a long drawn out occurrence that takes place during season and off season. The most important aspect to recruitment is marketing ones school.
Arkansas State has been posting its games online and has continued to improve its production. Games are now streamed live on YouTube in HD as well. This shows professionalism within an organization. This past weekend ASU played a tournament in Little Rock, Arkansas. A member of the ASU team had a spectacular play that was edited by their camera man into a 20 second video clip. It was the start of something that went viral. It has reached 16 rugby playing nations and has over 115,000 views on YouTube within the first 48 hours. This is important as it was shared by ESPN, FOX Sports AUS, and on Sports Bible. This publicized Arkansas States Rugby tremendously.
Sincerely,
Zinny
