Common Questions

Q: We have rugby in Oklahoma? 

A: Yes! Our senior club began with our men's team in 2007, and since then, we've added a women's team and youth teams. Adult teams can be found across the state in OKC, Ft. Sill, and Tulsa. College teams can be found at Southern Nazarene University, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University.  Youth teams can be found in Norman, Yukon, and Bixby. We are working to develop more youth teams in central Oklahoma as well as a girls' league. 

Q: Am I strong or fast enough? What if I've never played sports before? 

A: One of the best parts of rugby is there's a spot for everyone. Each position requires it's own set of skills, so if you want to play, we will find a spot for you to shine. We have many players that have never played competitive team sports, let alone rugby, before. Our practices are open to anyone and no experience is needed. Our goal is to spread the love and knowledge of rugby to anyone who is interested!

Q: I don't want to play, but how can I support? 

A: The number one way to support is coming to our games! Women's rugby is rapidly growing in the States, so now is the best time to make us your favorite team. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so if you are able to donate to or sponsor our team, we greatly appreciate it. We accept donations via Venmo (@okcrugbyteam) and Paypal (Crusaders of Oklahoma Rugby Football Club). Be sure to specify that your donation is for the women's team!

Q: What is a mountain boomer? 

A: A mountain boomer, aka the collared lizard, is the Oklahoma state reptile. They are typically found in rocky habitats, spanning from northwestern Arizona through Missouri and north-south from northern Kansas into north-central Mexico. You can look for Oklahoma collared lizards in the Wichita Mountains, Great Plains State Park, and Quartz Mountain State Park.
