What is a Scrum?
In Rugby, a Scrum is a way of restarting the game. It is a close-knit, shoulder-to-shoulder formation of players with the objective of moving the ball forward.
The Fall 2010 Scrum objective is to help rebuild our LGBT sports community strength by facilitating connections with stakeholders and providing learning opportunities.
