RUGBY SCHOLARSHIPS & SUPPORT AT SBU

The Bonnies play in the Upstate NY Collegiate Rugby Conference, facing nationally ranked competition on a regular basis. The 15s season is during the fall semester.

During spring semester the team focuses on physical and skill development in January and February, and 7s competition is held in March and April.

The Bonnies won the national small-college NCR 15s championship in 2023, prompting the move to Division I for the 2024-25 season.

Along with our on-field success, the benefits of playing for the Bonnies include:

• Strength and conditioning coach and full-time athletic trainers to make sure you’re playing at your best.
• Full-time coaching, supporting the development of national-level players, and leaders in all professional fields.
• Access to our state-of-the-art weight room and turf field. Come play under the lights!

You can be a part of the next generation of St. Bonaventure women’s rugby players and help us continue to represent our program and university at the highest level. If you are a high school rugby player, or an athlete looking to try a new sport at the college level, we want to tell you more about our unique approach to developing student-athletes and growing as a team.
