Justin was more than just the Head Coach of the Noblesville Girl's Rugby Team. His impact with the girls empowered them all while he was their mentor, role model, a calming presence. During his tenure, he would be seen in his bare feet at games and practices teaching girls that rugby was fun and safe. He made sure rugby was a positive and safe place in their lives.
Justin believed this so much, he would often help girls who could not afford to play. Working with the Noblesville Rugby Club, they would find ways to help players afford the fees and equipment. It was important to him that any girl who wanted to play rugby would be able to play.
The rugby community in Indiana, especially the Noblesville Rugby Club will always miss Justin's big smiles and bear hugs.
The Noblesville Rugby Club has established the Justin Henson Memorial Player Scholarship Fund to honor his memory and his passion to make sure everyone can play rugby. Funds will be used to assist players who are unable to pay the club fees, player equipment and development, and to support the growth of our Unified Rugby Team.
