Friends & Family Weekend 2021
Will you join us for the greatly anticipated return to State College?
October 15-17, 2021 in State College, PA
We hope you'll join us at this year's Friends & Family Weekend! What makes this year unique is that it will be low-key, with no formal banquet. We just want everyone to come to town and reconnect with the Penn State Rugby community. The teams (and all of us!) have been through a lot in the past year and a half — let’s come together and celebrate the program that means so much to us. We hope to see you there!

Join us for the first official PSU Rugby Golf Outing on Friday, October 15th!
Where: Penn State Blue Course 1523 West College Avenue, State College, PA
Cost: $100 entry fee covers green fees, driving range, and after party at Doggie’s Pub
We'll be teeing off at 12:05pm at Penn State Golf Courses’ Blue Course for a fun day of golf with your fellow ruggers. There will be prizes for the winning foursome, 2 longest drive holes, and 2 closest to the pin holes. Mulligans for purchase. In addition to prizes for the best golfers of the day, pro golfer Michael "Moose" Watson will join us at a Par 5 hole on the course. If you can beat his 400 yard long drive, you will win the golf trip of a lifetime to Pebble Beach (worth $5,000)! Register now ($100 per person) for yourself or your foursome. All are welcome: rugby alums, parents, friends, and more!
There are a few spots left for sponsorship, too! If you're interested, please contact Mike Underhill at TheMichaelUnderhill@gmail.com.
