15s rugby returns to san luis obispo

San Luis Obispo Mens Rugby makes its return in 2025.

San Luis Obispo returns to the pitch for the 2025 Southern California Rugby Football Union season.

After an undefeated run ended in the division championship match against Oceanside, the men's team is gearing up for another run at a title. And not just in a single division. For the first time in its history, the club will feature a team in two divisions — Division II and III — marking an important step in future growth and playing time for athletes.

Join us as the club takes that next step. Practices are every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Damon-Garcia Sports Complex in San Luis Obispo. No prior experience is necessary.

About San Luis Obispo Rugby Football Club

The Club

The San Luis Obispo Rugby Football Club is the premier rugby club on the Central Coast, boasting both a men's and a women's program flying under the same banner. Both programs compete in the Southern California Rugby Football Union, or SCRFU. It's a collection of some of the strongest clubs in the entire state of California under the governance of the union, or conference.

The Men

The men's program was established in 1975 and has a long history of success not just in the region, but across all of Southern California. The men's most recent championship came in 2023 when they defeated SCRFU powerhouse Belmont Shore in Long Beach, Calif. to claim the title. It was the program's first Division II championship since 1997, and the first at any level since 2003.

How You Fit In

The men in the picture holding the championship banner all started somewhere. Some played in college, some high school, some even overseas in other countries. But many joined as adults looking to test themselves athletically once more and to find a great group of individuals — and eventually friends — to join them along the way.

This is a social club that wants to win. If having fun while winning games sounds like a good time to you, you'll fit right in.
