Oregon State club sports give athletes an opportunity to continue playing competitive sports or to create a space to learn new skills and build community.
Club sports at Oregon State have historically found success in their regional and national leagues. Men’s Ultimate Disc club has been to nationals the past two years and Men’s Rugby competed in the NCR 7s Nationals in DC last year.
For more information on the clubs offered at Oregon State, the OSU Recreational Sports website provides a list where interested students can sign up, as there are tons of clubs not mentioned in this article.
Women’s+ Rugby
The Women’s+ Rugby Club hope to expand on last year’s season with fresh faces.
Social Media Officer Andie Wessel emphasized the inclusivity of the club, encouraging people to join no matter their experience level.
“We offer a welcoming environment and an opportunity to play a super cool sport and get involved with awesome people!”
Practices are open to everyone, but a flexible “A-side” travel team plays games throughout Oregon and Washington.
“This year we are competitively aiming to make it to and past regionals while continuing to expand our community,” Wessel said.
Oregon State plays in the D1 Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference (PMRC) with the opportunity for tournaments at the end of the season.
The club’s open practice dates started Tuesday, Sept. 23, and are from 4-6 pm at Student Legacy Park 2, and continue every Tuesday. They also have practices Wednesdays from 6-8 pm at Prothro Field, and Thursdays from 4-6 pm back at Student Legacy Park 2.

They are also hosting a tournament on October 4th and 5th.
