Help Make Rugby a CIS Sport

Posted on 2004-05-18 by Agustin Louro

The Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) is the governing body for all University Athletics in Canada. The CIS is currently soliciting votes to test what people think is the sport that should be recognized as a full varsity designated sport. Women's Rugby is already part of the varsity calendar, but Men's Rugby has only been given club status in the past. If you are a rugby supporter and would like to see the sport garner the recognition it derserves, especially at the university level, please go vote for rugby.

The other sports in the running are alpine ski, badminton, baseball, beach volleyball, curling, golf, triathlon, and women's softball.
