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
