Calling all high school rugby players and potential rugby players, the Warthogs will be starting another season in a few months. The program welcomes all boys currently enrolled in any Oakland high school. Details about practice will be announced as soon as we firm them up and get a new web site up and running.
The Warthogs are a club and are free to student athletes. Rugby, the second most popular sport in the world next to soccer, will be an Olympic Sport in 2016. You don't have to be the biggest, strongest or fastest to become a good rugby player. You do need heart and some smarts.
Call Coach Mike Spencer (510) 593-3767 if you have any questions or want to join. We provide a positive atmosphere of hard work and emphasize doing well in school. The league matches start in January.
