sizes.  You will be amazed at how quickly you pick up the game and begin beating more experienced teams.

By joining the P&S Rugby Club, you will become part of a long winning tradition. As the only intercollegiate team at P&S, rugby receives tremendous support from the medical center community.  Our opponents include other medical and business schools as well as various club teams around the city. In addition, each fall we host the legendary John Wood Memorial Tournament, an event that undoubtedly will attract a sizeable chunk of your envious classmates.

Most importantly, you will enjoy a camaraderie and social tradition unparalleled by any sport. Each match ends with a few frosty brews, a toast to our opponent and singing songs that would make grizzled old sailors blush.  This is a great chance to get to know your colleagues from all P&S classes in a less than academic setting.  

Practices are generally low key and instructional and do not conflict with academic responsibilities. Games occur on Saturday afternoons in the fall and a team trip down south in the spring is always memorable. Coaching is provided by the more experienced members of the team.  

If you read this far, you are interested. Come out and give it a shot, no commitment required. Look for signs posted in August.
