CANCELLED - Rugby Georgia’s Girls Clinic at Life University on January 25, 2025 has been cancelled due to winter weather conditions.

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER! The girl’s rugby clinic scheduled on October 19, 2025 has been cancelled. Thank you to Agnes Scott College for agreeing to host and we look forward to another fantastic season!

Even though I am officially retired, I could not say no to the Career Day at my middle school. Today I will be chatting with all of the eighth-graders about being a rugby coach and managing a sports organization. ❤️🏉

Have you registered for the 2026? Let’s get to it!

HUGE congratulations to ATLiens for their showing at Father Ryan Irish Ruggerfest. They finished the tournament four/one thanks to key tries scored by Emmett Stombach, Drew Powell, Cole Lovell, and Rowan Richards-Boeff and excellent teamwork from everyone.
