Part of MIS’s TRY Sport program, TRY Rugby is an 8-week, non-contact rugby curriculum with on-site clinics and equipment provided directly by MIS. It was the first sport introduced, connecting students to new experiences, breaking down barriers to participation, and making physical education a regular, engaging part of K–12 life. Hundreds of additional teachers and schools have asked to join.

The Varsity Rugby Initiative aims to elevate rugby to varsity sport status in Montana, giving student-athletes structured competition, college pathways, and community support. It sits alongside the Great Northwest Challenge, a premier select-side tournament that supports player development and college recruitment.

Launched in 2025, Tackle Montana brings free, rugby-based tackle coaching to Montana football. Internationally experienced rugby coaches run 45-minute, on-field sessions built around each team’s schedule, teaching body position, tracking, and control in the contact zone — at no cost to the school, players, or families. MIS wants to set the standard for how tackling is taught in Montana.

The College Rugby Initiative helps colleges and universities evaluate varsity rugby as a new enrollment channel and varsity offering — with the financial model, implementation roadmap, and talent pipeline laid out for decision-makers. The talent is already here; this connects Montana players to the next level.

Boots for All provides cleats to underprivileged communities throughout Montana, supporting young people regardless of their economic status, ethnicity, background, or sexual orientation. By eliminating barriers to sport, it empowers youth to take part in a variety of athletic activities — building fitness, well-being, and a stronger sense of community.
