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
