A native of Pensylvania, Leif Hoagland played collegiate rugby for Penn State for several years. Primarily a loose head prop, he occasionally played tight head and lock when needed. During his days at Penn State, the club made it to the national tournament each year, with appearances at the Final Four in both '94 & '95. Following his undergraduate studies, Coach Hoagland moved to South Carolina in 1996 to pursue his Masters in Chiropractic. In 2002, Coach Hoagland, along with his wife, Sharon, opened the Richland Chiropractic Center, which they continue to operate to this day.

Still possessing a love for the sport after more than 13 years, Coach Hoagland joined the Spring Valley High School Rugby Club as an assistant coach for the 2009 season. Working primarily with the forwards, Coach Hoagland assisted head coach Mark Morris and the team in claiming their third Multi-School State Championship in as many years.

Beginning in the spring of 2010, Coach Hoagland will be joining the coaching staff at USC to serve in the newly formed position of Strength & Conditioning Coach. With an extensive background in competitive power lifting, both as a competitor and as a training partner for several national champions, Coach Hoagland will be overseeing the health and fitness regiments of one of the nation's largest and fastest growing clubs.
