Just like the century-old stories about the humble beginnings of college sports, USF has a squad of amateur athletes who take to the field year-round, for nothing more than a love of the game. Working on a shoestring budget, the passionate core of players teaches rugby to newcomers, and everyone seems to be having about as much fun as kids on Christmas.
Recruiting takes place over the summer and in the fall pretty much anywhere on campus where students congregate. The team members ask any female student they see if she would like to play rugby for USF.
