A barbarian’s sport played by gentlemen.

Rugby, invented when a soccer player finally just picked up the ball, is more than pure violence and British vernacular.

Help us build a home for Kingfisher Rugby

With nothing but an weedy cow-field to practice on, the Kingfishers have built a State Champion. It’s time to build a first-class Athletic Facility. Our plans include a full-size grass pitch and a Fieldhouse for year-round training and for use as fan and guest facilities.

Given your help, we can make match-day an unforgettable experience and showcase rugby for what it is - the best team sport in the world.

“Your mission at this school is to become a saint. Saints are spiritually tough. In order to be spiritually tough, you need to be mentally tough. And in order to be mentally tough, you need to be physically tough. Grace builds on nature. God loves rugby players. Get some.”

– John Prezzia, Head Coach
