Sun, sweat and scrums at the University of Miami. No experience needed, no tryout cuts โ just show up ready to run.
Miami Rugby is a student-run club open to every undergrad and grad at the U. Played since high school or never touched an oval ball โ you'll find your place, your teammates, and a group that has your back from day one.
We field sides in both 15s and 7s, train year-round in the Florida sun, and play universities across the state and the Southeast. We're not a beer club that owns a ball โ we train three nights a week and we play to win. We just happen to be very good at the other part too.
Never played? Perfect โ most of our new players haven't. You'll learn to pass, tackle and clear a ruck properly before you ever play a match, and you'll do it alongside ten other guys learning the exact same thing.
Looking for women's rugby? The U has a separate women's club โ message us and we'll point you their way.
Speed, contact and brotherhood. This is what a Tuesday night under the Miami lights feels like โ come find out.
Get in the game ๐You'll know 30 guys by the end of your first month. Rugby does that โ you can't share a scrum with someone and stay strangers. Most of us met here and still live together.
Structured sessions on speed, contact and skills. You'll learn to pass, tackle and hit a ruck properly, whether it's week one or year three. Sessions are built so a beginner can survive Tuesday and start on a Saturday by October.
League and friendly matches against other universities, plus 7s tournaments in the fall. Earn your starting jersey and represent the U.
Road trips, beach days, end-of-season barbecue, and the best socials on campus. Ask anyone: half the reason they stayed had nothing to do with rugby.
