ABOUT THE TEAM
The women of the Eau Claire Rugby Club are students at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, where rugby is officially a club sport. The team was started in 1997 and has featured athletes who have competed at a national level. The team has made two trips to the Final Four of the Midwest, most recently in November of 2004. They are led by a USA Rugby Certified Coach, Erin "Rosie" Rosenberger.
The goal of UWEC Rugby is to strike a unique balance between competitiveness and relaxed fun. The team is always seeking new players who are looking for a challenge and a little adventure. Come play or just come watch! We look forward to meeting YOU!
ABOUT RUGBYRugby is a fun and physical sport played around the world. It is similar to American Football (in fact, football originated from rugby) but played in a faster and continuous manner. There are no time-outs, no huddles and the clock never stops. Unlike American Football, every player gets to pass, kick and run with the ball, every player gets to tackle opponents and every player gets to score.
