From October 14-16th, Penn State Rugby alumni, family, friends, current players, and staff gathered in Happy Valley for a celebration of the Program's 60th year anniversary. With over 400 people in attendance, we were informed that this weekend was the largest alumni event for all of PSU Athletics in 2022.

After a year full of uncertainty and challenge, on Friday April 2nd, the Penn State Women took the field against West Chester University. The team overcame a tough year and were ecstatic for the opportunity to step on the field together to play with and for each other.

For many of us, PSU Rugby is the source of most of our great Penn State memories. For this reason, we want to hear from YOU!

PSU Rugby has impacted our lives, for many of us, in more than one way. We are a group of people connected in one special way, the experiences we have felt through PSU Rugby, and the value it has added to our lives.

Thank you to all our alumni members for participating in the survey we recently sent out! We have gathered some of the responses for our first edition of alumni updates.

Penn State Rugby is nothing if not flexible. Lockdowns, virtual school, social distancing, and overall safety turned the scope of the season on its head last year. So what is happening now?!

The PSU Rugby Booster Club is excited to announce the launch of a mentoring program in which student-athletes will be matched with alumni who work in their field of study or intended career.

As we enter 2021, the pandemic and state regulations due to COVID continue to impact business owners, frontline, and essential workers across the country. Among those are many former Penn State Rugby players.

In the November E-letter, the Penn State Rugby Booster Club announced the restructuring of the board. The restructure entailed the creation of specific working groups led by a director. The hope is that the new organization will ensure all initiatives of the board are accomplished.

Through two strategic planning sessions, the Booster Club has outlined a new structure that will ensure better workflow between our volunteers and a better distribution of responsibilities.

In a normal year this note is a celebratory post-Fall season recap. We are again Rugby East Champions, we added 10 talented new freshmen to the roster, 15 players from Penn State were part of the Rugby East All-Conference teams and we were prepping for our off-season training to get healthy and return in the Spring for a National Championship run….

As the end of the year and holidays approach we know many take this time to make end of year donations to their favorite causes. We also know there are many organizations you hold near and dear and are thankful Penn State Rugby continues to be one of them.
