Thank you for supporting the UMass Women's Rugby Football Club!
The UMass Women's Rugby Football Club is a Registered Student Organization at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. We are a dedicated team comprised of hard workers and goal-setters who welcome challenges with determination and drive. This May, we have the opportunity to travel to Atlanta, Georgia, and compete amongst other talented collegiate rugby teams in the College Rugby Association of America's National Championship. Should we qualify and be able to compete, the funding raised from our generous donors would go towards travel costs, registration costs, as well as other incidentals.
