About Us The YRFC is a competitive, intercollegiate rugby club that competes during both the Fall and Spring seasons, in addition to an annual international tour during Spring Break. The Yale Rugby Football Club is always recruiting. New players are always welcome, and no previous rugby experience is required. Former football, soccer, and basketball players, wrestlers, and athletes from many other sports have gone on to excel at rugby. Rugby is a game for athletes of all shapes and sizes; our current squad ranges in weight from 135 to 280 pounds. The only requirement is that you are an undergraduate in Yale College. During the Fall semester, practices are held four times a week from 4:00pm until 6:15pm on the rugby pitch, which is located next to the intramural fields. Home and away matches are played on Saturdays. In the Winter months, conditioning and individual skill workouts are conducted in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium. The Spring season is non-league and consists of an international tour and several tournaments, including the Ivy League Tournament. Please feel free to email captain Patrick Madden or president Andrew Moir with any questions. |
