About Louisiana Rugby
Louisiana Rugby Officer's Welcome,
Louisiana Rugby, a federal 501c3 nonprofit, was formed in 2012 to help bring the game of rugby to a wider population of Louisianans, specifically youth and high school. Since 1999, youth and high school rugby teams have called Louisiana home. It is our goal to help the dedicated community of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, parents, and supporters to improve the game we all love by providing this organization as a forum for development.
Whether you are new to rugby, just returning, or are a long-time devotee, we welcome you to join the Louisiana Rugby community in our mission to growth the game and introduce its benefits to all.
Welcome to rugby!
Sincerely,
Gary Giepert, President
Our Philosophy
Louisiana Rugby is dedicated to spreading the game to the youth of Louisiana.
Our aim is to do as much good as possible by growing sustainable teams in a wide variety of locations and populations.
​
Our History
Formed in 2012, Louisiana Rugby is the descendant of a long rugby tradition in southeastern Louisiana. It is a non-profit affiliate of USA Rugby.
Our mandate from USA Rugby is to "increase the number of U19 rugby players, while also decreasing the age at which people are introduce to the game."
