A native of Australia, Geoff
Mason played rugby league and rugby for 35
years, beginning at age 7. A success on the
field, he played in the New
South Wales Rugby League competition for Sydney
University, Newtown and Penrith in the 1970's as
a prop and second row and
represented Newcastle
against New Zealand in 1978.
From there, he emigrated to the US in 1980
and was Player/Coach at USC
from
1981-1985. He also played for Olde Grey 1986-1990 where he
represented Combined South
and East in the National
All-Star Championships.
Afterwards, he coached USC from
1992-1994 where the club reached
the South Final Four.
Since Coach Mason's return to
USC in the spring of 2004, USC
has risen to new heights and
returned to national prominence.
Taking over a previously
under-achieving Division II
team, Coach Mason quickly helped
the team reach the USA Rugby
South Division II playoffs in
2005, 2006, and 2007. Building
on this success, coupled with
increased performance on the
organization level, the club
moved to the South's prestigious
Division I competition - an
honor bestowed upon only 7
collegiate clubs in USA Rugby
South, where the club's A and
B-side teams both placed 4th of
7 in their first year of
Division I play.
Coach Mason holds both Level I
and Level II Coaching
Accreditation and several other
coaching certifications from USA
Rugby.
