Escanaba Rugby Club

Most people spend their lives watching from the sidelines.
We're building something different in Escanaba.
The Escanaba Berserkers Rugby Club started with a handful of people willing to show up, work hard, and build something for our community. Now we're growing, and TV6 stopped by to see what we're all about.

Awesome coverage from Tequila 10s. Appreciate JPGio Productions capturing such a great day of rugby.

Tequila 10s Rugby Tournament @ Lion's Field Photo collection by JPGio Productions

Yesterday the Escanaba Berserkers competed in the first tournament in club history at Tequila10s.
It was everything grassroots rugby is supposed to be. Hard hits, great competition, shared players, new friendships, and clubs coming together to grow the game.
Throughout the day players rotated in to help different sides and keep matches competitive. By the end of the tournament everybody was battling together, laughing together, and finishing the day with rugby tradition.
Escanaba capped off the day by winning the boat race championship.
We also want to give a huge thank you to Fox Cities Gargoyles Rugby Club for the hospitality throughout the tournament and for presenting our club with a plaque recognizing our debut tournament. That meant a lot to us as a new club.
Beautiful weather. Great rugby. Great people. Exactly the kind of culture we want to keep building in the U.P.

Most people stop competing after high school.

Work.
Home.
Repeat.

The Escanaba Berserkers Rugby Club was built for the people who still want challenge, brotherhood, and something real.

No experience needed.
Just show up willing to learn and work.

We practice every Wednesday and Thursday at 7 PM at Ludington Park in Escanaba.

Looking for competition again?
Miss being part of a team?
Want something harder than the gym?
Want to help build rugby in the U.P.?
