Fall 2022

TO Note

We practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 4:30-6:30 pm, and also on most Saturdays when we don't have a match. Come out in athletic clothes and bring cleats, a mouth guard, and a water bottle (if you have them).  We will introduce you to the sport at your own pace. Both new and experienced ruggers are encouraged to come out!

Complete the steps below as soon as possible and you're set to play in your first rugby match!

  1. Complete the RFWC Club Sports Waiver through Eaglesync.
  2. To play in NCR affiliated matches, you must complete NCR Player Registration through NCR's Player Registration ($83).  
  3. Gear up!  You will need a decent pair of rugby boots (any cleats will work, as long as there is no toe cleat), mouthguard, and a pair of rugby shorts to practice in (recommended but not mandatory). Visit www.worldrugbyshop.com or Amazon to purchase these items. While you're there, you might want to get a cheap rugby ball for yourself.
  4. To receive the latest updates from our team, see team photos, and stay connected, follow us on social media.

RUGBY GEAR

Team jerseys are provided during matches. It's a good idea to wear a light colored or dark colored shirt to practice so we can easily divide into two teams.
Rugby Shorts & Cleats:
Rugby shorts are made specifically with tear-resistant fabric to withstand the physical play of rugby. They also have an elastic waistband to support forwards binding in scrums or lifting in lineouts.

​Rugby cleats are designed with metal studs for soft ground and are made more durable to last. Some rugby cleats are made specifically for both backs and forwards. 
Protective Gear:
Mouthguards are essential in rugby to protect yourself from dental damage and only mouthguard similar to as shown can be used. 

Scrum caps are optional and preference based. If playing as a forward it can help soften hits slightly and prevent your ears from being pulled.

Protective undershirts are optional but hard plastic based undershirts are not permitted.
