Prospective Players

HCWRFC accepts all interested students, of all skill and fitness levels, with any or no rugby experience. The majority of students joining the team have no prior knowledge of the game. We have over 40 players on the squad and everyone gets to play. Depending on field conditions, the team practices Monday through Friday on Minor Field from 4 - 6 p.m. We compete during the fall and spring seasons, and have off-season training in the winter. Only equipment necessary for practice is cleats and a mouthguard. If you have any questions, feel free to email Emily Pitman at This email address is being protected from spambots.
