Team Spotlight: ICEF Rugby
ICEF (Inner City Education Foundation) Rugby was founded in Los Angeles by rugby legend Stuart Krohn. He coached the Santa Monica Men's Club for 10 years, coached rugby at Dartmouth College, was an international player for 13 years and was an All-American rugby player at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Krohn has simultaneously taught English at ICEFs View Park Preparatory School for the past eleven years.
As director of ICEFs rugby program, he is assisted by 10 coaches from the Santa Monica Rugby Club. The coaches are knowledgeable about the sport and dedicated to the students. The coaches come from a variety of backgrounds and offer exposure to positive role models for the students. The ICEF Rugby Program is in its 12th season serving thousands of students in South Los Angeles. ICEF Rugby includes physical education programs, after-school, middle school flag rugby teams, and boys and girls, middle and high school tackle programs. ICEF Rugby is opening worlds for students in South Los Angeles.
