Why Your Support Matters

As a club sport, Ohio State Rugby receives no funding from the Athletics Department. Everything — equipment, travel, league and referee fees, field maintenance, medical support — is funded by alumni society donations and player dues.

Your contribution directly impacts the student-athletes who carry on a tradition that began in 1966.
