It was 2013 and Alev Kelter, then 23, stood on top of a mountain near her house in Eagle River, Alaska, clutching her snowboard with both hands. Her mind was elsewhere. She was replaying the just-concluded Olympic ice hockey team tryouts over and over in her head. She had been so close. But she'd failed to make the final cut for the 2014 Sochi Games.

About Utah Youth Rugby:
The mission of Utah Youth Rugby is to build character in youth through rugby. We do this by helping kids love rugby. To achieve this, Utah Youth Rugby sets out to acquire access to rugby fields, certify coaches and referees as well as organize numerous leagues and tournaments.
Utah Youth Rugby believes that by fostering an environment in which participation in the sport of rugby, the life experiences of the youth athletes and families are enhanced. Utah Youth Rugby invites all to come play rugby regardless of race, religion, gender and socioeconomic status. Utah Youth Rugby, sanctioned by USA Rugby as a State Based Rugby Organization, was formed in 2010 to promote, serve, advocate, and organize youth rugby in the Great State of Utah. Since then we have grown from a handful of teams to over 60 High School and Youth teams for boys and girls of all ages. Our member clubs compete in 7s and 15s seasons throughout the year. Utah Youth Rugby is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
