EAGLE RUGBY

The Rugby team at St. Thomas continues to develop young men to play with confidence, many continuing their game at the collegiate level. Since its inception in 1999, St. Thomas Rugby has been available as a club sport, continuing its development into a full sport offering. The program has quickly developed into a strong competitive force, playing in the State Playoffs every year.

Competing as a member of the Texas Rugby Union (TRU), the Eagles compete in the Southern division against various area programs. Currently, three teams are offered at St. Thomas, a freshmen team, a second division team and a first division team.

Practice for Rugby begins in mid-November, with a regular season schedule from late January to late April. Games are played during the week and on weekends. The teams practice on professional grade turf in Granger Stadium as well as at convenient facilities near campus.
