The Program
Our Rugby program is at it’s genesis. Approved as a fully sponsored sport by the Abbey Athletics Department in December 2019, our first class will be welcomed in August of 2020. Crusaders Rugby will be taking careful consideration and deliberation as to which competition they will enter with options being USA Rugby’s National Division II or the NSCRO Championship. We have fully staffed strength and conditioning programs for all Athletic teams and our own athletic training staff on site.
Coach Whitrow has coached in College rugby since 2013 at the Men’s D1A & DII and Women’s DI and DII levels. Coach Whitrow has also coached in the Varsity Cup and the Collegiate Rugby Championship (CRCs)
If you are a rugby junkie like we are and want an opportunity to pursue the best version of yourself, you are likely a good fit for our program.
We wish you all the best in your college search. We hope to speak with you soon! #RaisetheRed
