Our launch plan
Rugby, rooted in local communities.
South Africa first · Wider rugby communities over time. We are shaping pilots with clubs, coaches and sporting partners. These priorities describe the planned rollout; they do not imply live services or confirmed partner organisations.
South Africa: rugby and football first
Our South African launch plan starts with rugby and football. Schools and clubs are central to the proposed rugby pilot, including opportunities to work with communities in KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.
Build around the club
The pilot is intended to connect club administration, player development and community media. Coaches, school organisers and clubs can help define the first practical needs. Named programmes and participating organisations will be published only when confirmed.
Sporting partners with a local offer
We welcome conversations about rugby balls, boots, protective equipment and teamwear. Campaigns should make South African availability, delivery terms and support clear, with opportunities suited to community clubs as well as established teams.
