Memphis Inner City Rugby

Transforming Lives Through Rugby

Founded in 2012 by educators Shane Young and Devin O’Brien, Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) was born from a desire to provide opportunities for under-resourced youth in Memphis. By integrating a mandatory study hall into the team culture, MICR emphasizes academic achievement alongside athletic development. This innovative approach has allowed the organization to grow from a single team to multiple teams, impacting over 300 young athletes across the city.
