GETTING REGISTERED

Registering or getting CIPP’ed rugby insurance registers you to play and do contact (tackling, rucking, scrumming). CIPP is valid Sept. 1 – Aug. 3.

Follow this how-to provided by the Capital Rugby Union . Getting CIPP’ed registers you as a player on the team, allows you to participate in contact, and serves as a form of insurance at all official tournaments, matches, or practices where all other players are also CIPP’ed.
