No Experience Necessary!
Never played rugby before? No problem! In fact, most collegiate rugby players have never even seen the game before college. Come out to practice with us- we'll teach you the game. As it stands today, the Men's Rugby club at USC is composed primarily of former high school football and soccer players, wrestlers, etc. with several starters having two years or less experience. In addition to this, the club is committed to fielding three sides in the 2009-2010 season, so all members will get a chance to play each weekend.

What do I need to Play?

All club members are expected to match the team's uniform code on gamedays. As a result, club members need a pair of black shorts (no stripes or patterns), black athletic socks (soccer socks), and a black undershirt. The team heavily recommends purchase of rugby shorts for the shorts requirement, but they are not necessary. You will also need a pair of cleats if you don't own a pair already. Football and soccer cleats do just fine, however if your football cleats have a toe cleat (on the upper edge of the shoe's front), you will have to remove it or cut it off before gameday.

Club members are also required to bring a mouth guard to all practices and games.

Other items that you may purchase or use, but are not required, include IRB-certified rugby shoulder padding (available at World Rugby Shop - see link below), black athletic sliders (for under your shorts), and black under armor (polyester blends, etc.) of any length for under your jersey.
