Schedule and Results
The Kingfishers are going to Nationals! And we need your help to get there. Our aim is to raise $15,000 to cover our trip to the National Rugby Tournament in Elkhart, Indiana at the end of May. All support is appreciated - no gift is too small - or too large!
NOTE: we will recognize corporate and philanthropic sponsors on our official 2024 Nationals swag with your gift of $500 or more!
UPDATE 3/21/24: We reached our goal! But, let’s keep a good thing going…
All additional funds raised will go towards the complete, professional re-sodding of our home field in September. Our current field is 95% exposed dirt — we owe it to our boys (and our opponents) to play our matches on real grass!

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.
