2018 Midwest RCT Fishers Cheat Sheet
Just northeast of Indianapolis, Fishers, Indiana is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. In 2017, Money magazine ranked Fishers the #1 city in which to live in America. In 2016, Fishers was declared the second-safest city in America for children, finishing behind only Carmel, Indiana, the city due west of Fishers.

Southeastern Youth Rugby, the club in charge of hosting and staffing the 2018 Midwest RCT, is currently the nation's fourth-largest youth rugby program, with almost 90 kids playing in Grades 2-4 Flag, Contact 5/6, Contact 7/8, and a summer touch youth league co-sponsored by the local YMCA. Fishers Tiger Rugby is ranked a Top 20 varsity program in the nation and qualified for the 2017 High School Boys Nationals along with three other Indiana clubs.
