Rebellion Rugby (a Division III Men’s Club in the Southern California Rugby Football Union) invites you to come train and play with the club. Whether it is the beginning of the season, mid-season or the off season, everyone is welcome on our pitch, regardless of age (18+), sexual or gender identity/expression, race or ethnicity, body type, or past experience. Even if you have never picked up a ball or played team sports before, we can turn you into a rugby player!
Our pathway to rugby starts this September!
New to the sport? No problem! Join RUGBY 101 – four weeks of fitness and skill development that will show you the basics of being a rugger! Already play, or are an experienced athlete? Sign up for PRE-SEASON TRAINING for intermediate/advanced level players and start prepping for the competitive season!
We are committed to reducing barriers towards entry into this sport. Even if your schedule would keep you from attending every session, or your finances are a bit tight – you are still welcome at our pitch. If you’re unsure about committing to the full month or season, come check out a practice for free, then decide if you want to sign up! Financial assistance options are available.
Please note: Players who intend to continue training after this month will be required to register with USA Rugby by the beginning of October.

All players must be 18 years or older, and no longer in High School. Training and Matches are open to all players age 18-21, but most of our social activities are held at establishments with 21+ age restrictions.
If you are joining for the first time, you will need to secure:
Contact play will not happen on day one. Don’t be discouraged if you need time to get these items. As long as you have workout clothes, you can start training!
This is an adult amateur recreation program, so we understand people have work, school, kids, and other adult responsibilities. We encourage everyone to attend as much as possible.
No. Our mission is to make rugby accessible to everyone, especially those who might not have felt welcome in team sports before. Many of our players either played sports a very long time ago or not at all. It’s never too late to learn, and the benefits of regular sports practice will amaze you!Toggle content goes here, click edit button to change this text.
Rugby can be a demanding sport, but our regular weekly practices are designed to build the fitness levels of every player. You will find our workouts to be fun, engaging, and inclusive of all players no matter what level of experience and/or fitness they bring to the pitch.
Like any high-impact sport, rugby carries a certain amount of risk when you walk onto the pitch. While injuries do happen, the amount or severity of injury is no different than other sports of a similar nature. The Rebellion cares about the safety of the entire team — in addition to learning how to play the game safely, you have the option of purchasing additional protective gear for practice and game days.
We welcome individuals of all gender identities and expression to train, participate in social activities in the club, and compete in all friendly (non-official) scrimmages. However, USA Rugby regulations dictate that players must identify as Male, Trans, or Non-Binary to be eligible to compete in sanctioned matches or tournaments.
Yes! In the past three seasons, our gender diverse population increased by 200%. There is a zero tolerance policy in the club, and in our governing union, for any homophobia or transphobia on or off the pitch. These aren’t just words — trans players hold significant positions of authority and influence within club leadership.
Rebellion Rugby does not accept unsolicited requests from foreign players, and does not offer visa assistance. You must be a current resident of California (or currently residing in the U.S. and moving to CA).
That’s okay, too! Our supporters are known as RugBAEs — you can learn all about them here.
