Fall

As the beautiful weather dies out our desire to rule the grass and kick some ass only grows stronger. This is the best time for new recruits to come out to field behind Building F in Slippery Rock to learn the game of Rugby. This is by no means a stressful environment, as in anyone who wants to learn how to play this sport and give their all is welcome. Rugby is a game that does not discriminate, for any shape or sized person can find a place on the field suitable for them. In the fall semester we play 80 minute games against primarily Division II teams, but we never turn down a challenge from any team despite their division. A match is a match and one who truly loves the sport is always prepared for another. We play with everything we’ve got for all 80 minutes of every game, and once the game is over it’s time to socialize and even sing a few traditional songs. This game brings the players together in a brotherly way. The rugby team is a second family away from home. We win as brothers, we lose as brothers, and we go through it all together as brothers.
