No! Many of our players join from other sports like soccer, wrestling, baseball or foorball and had never touched a rugby ball before joining. You learn at every practice and every game, even the most experienced players learn everyday. You will get hit and learn to get back up all the while making life long friends and memories, some of our alumnis have even made it to Pro Rugby or even the US National Team.

Do you play more 15s or 7s?

During the Fall semester we are a part of the Cardinals Conference and play set 15s games but during the Spring we play games and tournaments we choose that are most often played in 7s.
