Recruiting

No experience required. No excuses accepted.

Whether you played football, wrestled, ran track, lifted weights, played soccer, or have never touched a rugby ball, there is a role for you here.

01

Football Players

Blocking, tackling, footwork, and contact confidence translate fast.

02

Wrestlers

Leverage, grip strength, balance, and stubbornness are rugby currency.

03

Lifters

Power matters, especially when it travels through clean technique.

04

Runners

Work rate wins matches. Repeat sprint ability is a cheat code.

05

Soccer Players

Field vision, passing angles, support lines, and kicking all carry over.

06

Complete Beginners

No habits to unlearn. Show up, listen, compete, and we will teach you.
