The Club Today

The club is in good hands.

Badgers train twice a week on Dorn Field and compete across the Gulf Coast, from Louisiana to Mississippi and the Florida panhandle. Many had never touched a rugby ball before their first practice. That's always been the point.

The club runs on student dues, sweat, and alumni support. Limited school budget & scholarships. Just athletes who want to play and join a brotherhood.

This Is The Hill

A place worth playing for.

Founded in 1830, Spring Hill is the oldest Catholic college in the Southeast, with live oaks, azaleas, and a Jesuit tradition that shapes everyone who comes through. The rugby club has been part of that story for fifty years, and the Foundation exists to keep it there.

From the Archive

Five decades in frame.

Match days, road trips, reunions. The men who wore the jersey still find their way back to each other.

Why the Foundation Exists

Club rugby survives on the people who never really left.

The Spring Hill Rugby Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by former players. Our mission encompasses providing both essential financial aid as well as strategic organizational support to the Spring Hill College Rugby club. Beyond the pitch, we are committed to assisting graduating student athletes in their transition to post-graduate life.

01

Connect the alumni

A living directory, a monthly newsletter, and one big weekend a year. Wherever life took you, the club can still find you.

02

Back the players

Kit, travel, tournament fees, and field costs. These are the real expenses student dues were never going to cover.

03

Protect the tradition

The archive, the trophies, the stories, the alumni match. Fifty years of history, kept where the next class can see it.

Support the Club

Support the future of Spring Hill Rugby.

We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Give however is easiest. Every dollar goes to the club, and every gift is tax-deductible.
