San Antonio Riveters Women's rugby team

In rugby, there is no such thing as an attractive action shot when wearing a mouth guard and/or scrum cap. Want to look cute? Go play another sport.

But, the bond you have with your rugby teammates totally makes that stank-face action shot worth it. Something about pushing your bodies to the limits together for 80 minutes, having your head way too close to their asses in scrums, and protecting each from physical harm brings about a closeness that no other sport compares to.

Rugby - where women and men use the same size ball on the same sized pitch.

Opposing teams ARE friends. Players understand that the game is physical and that people will be hurt accidentally. It rarely amounts to more than competition. In fact, players are friends on and off the pitch, and even go grab a beer together after a game.

Any body type is welcomed. Oh, you gained 20 pounds? Don't worry, you can switch positions. You lost 30 pounds? We have a spot for you as well.

Veterans. Rookies. It's all just rugby out on the pitch

Come play with us. We got your back!

Practices are typically held at Olmos Basin Park (500 Devine), weather permitting. Check us out on Instagram and Facebook for more information or to support us.
