Men’s Rugby
Founded in 1975, the James Madison University Men's Rugby Football Club has been a home for collegiate rugby in the Shenandoah Valley for more than fifty years. The club competes in the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference, playing Fifteens in the Fall and Sevens in the Spring, and trains four days a week.
"Student-athletes learn time management, commitment, accountability, teamwork, and improve fitness and mental toughness."
- Dr. Mark Fowler, Head Coach
