We welcome individuals of all experience levels to join our rugby club. Rugby is a sport for everyone, regardless of shape or size. No experience necessary!  

Whether you're new or experienced, we’re dedicated to teaching the game and fostering an inclusive, team-oriented environment.

For your first rugby practice, you should bring: 

• A water bottle 
• Athletic clothing you don’t mind getting dirty 
• Cleats (soccer-style work best) 
• A mouthguard (if you have one.)  

If you don’t have rugby gear yet—no worries! Just come ready to move, learn, and have fun. We’ll walk you through everything else.
