Who We Are
The Rugby Fellowship
Since 1977, young men and women have pursued the sporting spirit at the University
of Platteville by either playing rugby or participating in a variety of supportive
roles. The ongoing dialogue of the last few decades recognizes the benefits
of this fellowship and recent efforts are being directed to formally organize
as "The Rugby Fellowship" guided by the following mission:
The Rugby Fellowship -- beyond the game, beyond the years, dedicated
to a "sporting spirit," to help others, and to enhance
old and new friendships.
The objectives of creating an association are to:
1) Celebrate the 'fellowship' with annual reunions,
alumni games, etc.;
2) Share the 'fellowship' by organizing and donating
to 'undeniably good causes'; and
3) Strengthen the 'fellowship' by maintaining a
roster / database UWP Rugby alumni (players and supporters) and to keep in
touch
Past Players of Rugby -- The University
of Wisconsin - Platteville Rugby Football Club (UWPRFC) was created
on the back of a napkin in the beginning of 1977. Since that time,
many individual lives have been affected. The following outlines
a few of the accomplishments of that original dream, encouraged
by the sporting spirit:
•Young people have learned to play rugby at a proficient level.
•Former UWP players have gone on to participate in higher levels of rugby
on a national and international basis.
•Young people have learned a different word –camaraderie. It has taken
on a special meaning which still impacts former players and supporters to this
very day.
The camaraderie has not departed from the early players and there is a desire
to harness the success that individuals have achieved in their professional
lives and form an ongoing association with the proposed mission
