Brief History 

Alabama Rugby was established in 1973 and is still growing as a program today. Our most recent success is being the 2007 Deep South Champions. We have a fall and spring season and 7 rugby in the summer. Our official season is in the spring and so the fall serves as a good training period. We are Division II and play some quality competition. We play 8 or 9 games in both the fall and the spring so there is plenty of action to be found. Most of our travel is around the Southeast so we are only on the road for about half of our games.

How to Join

Everyone is welcome to join our team. We have a small tryout fee of $20 that goes towards your dues if you stay. The nature of rugby tends to weed out those who are not committed so we usually never cut anyone. You never know until you give it a shot so do not be shy; we have lots of new comers every year. Club dues are $80 and they cover your uniform, travel, team functions and union membership fees (we are the cheapest club on campus). You need your own cleats (no toe cleat) and a mouth guard. You do not need to worry about dues until you get a few weeks to try it out and decide if its for you. As stated earlier, experience is not required, but it helps. We have two coaches who help us out, Mark Seitz and Malcolm Croft, so you can learn the game as you go. Backgrounds in football and wrestling are definite benefits but still not required.

Practice Schedules: 

Practice is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 5:00pm - 7:00pm on the Rugby field. It is in the corner of the rec fields, across the street form Arby's on University Blvd. (see Directions for map)
