Arrows Rugby (est. 2016) was recently recognized as "Catholic" by Cardinal DiNardo in Houston. Full club announcement here: https://www.arrowsrugby.com/arrows-rugby-officially-recognized-as-catholic-by-cardinal-dinardo/.
We have a bunch of Aggies on the team (and Longhorns, and Tigers, and Cougars) and are always looking for new players, supporters, sponsors, and fans. Demographically, majority of our guys are Catholic; about a third (33%) identify as not Catholic, with ~10% identifying as not Christian. Mission is to form men in Christian virtue through competitive rugby, but a professed faith is not required to be full part of this. We do have internal spiritual formation programming, but again - it's all optional.
Great club for newbies to the game too! A little under half of our competitive players had never been exposed to Rugby before joining the Arrows - so, good company. We've got a Rugby 101 page to catch you up - https://www.arrowsrugby.com/club/rugby101/.
Re. COVID - we would normally start early October, but we're in wait-and-see mode until our local union (Texas Rugby Union) is able to confidently schedule our season. That said, we're still doing stuff! Check out the site, email Club [at] ArrowsRugby [dot] com, or just drop a note for any questions.
God bless, Ags.
