In June 2009, 32 elementary and middle schools participated in the 2nd annual Mayor’s Cup of Flag Rugby held at Columbia University’s Baker Field.  Leading up to the event, Play Rugby USA collaborated with the International Rugby Board to film a documentary about the development of urban youth rugby in New York City.  They followed P.S. 279 from the Bronx, where C.H.A.M.P.S. coach Mike Rosario and a team of dedicated students have developed a dynamic flag rugby program over the past two years. P.S. 279 represented New Zealand at the Mayor's Cup.
