Rugby


Smith Rugby is one of the college’s oldest and most inclusive club sports. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or trying a new sport for the first time, rugby is for everyone. We welcome all gender identities, abilities, fitness levels, and body types—because rugby thrives on diversity and teamwork.  

Our practices (held Monday through Friday, 4:30–6:30 PM) are designed to build skills, fitness, and confidence, but attendance is flexible to fit your schedule. Beyond the game, our team does plenty of bonding activities, creating a supportive community that feels like family. With fall and spring seasons, there’s always an opportunity to hit the pitch, learn something new, and make lifelong friends.
