Hear from our players about what makes UMBC Rugby special

"Rugby is the ultimate team sport! It combines the best of both sports I played growing up, football and soccer."

"I played four Varsity sports in High School and have always been competitive. I decided to give rugby a try (pun intended) in Fall '23 and have fallen in love with the competitive nature of the game, the strategy behind it, and the brotherhood that is UMBC Men's Club Rugby."
