Coach Ben is a second-term Coach Across America coach at Play Rugby USA in New York City. Originally from Seattle, WA, Ben moved to New York City to pursue a career in sports-based youth development.
After serving one term with Coach Across America, Ben was afforded the opportunity to stay on a second term. Ben, otherwise known as Shaggy to his team, can continue giving back to youth in under-served communities due to your generosity.
“As a kid, rugby was everything to me. I was able to develop my athleticism and I also learned so many important life lessons,” says Ben. “I love coaching and seeing players develop both on and off the pitch.”
Thanks to all of your donations, Coach Ben can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports. Thank you all for making it possible for Ben to keep coaching kids for the next year!
