What's the rugby scene like at the Coast Guard Academy?

I'm thinking about playing rugby in college and was wondering about the rugby team at the Coast Guard Academy. How competitive is it and what are the facilities like, especially the rugby field?

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy has a very active rugby scene. Their men's and women's teams, known as the CGA Bears, are both part of Division II in the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO). This means the teams are quite competitive and face off against other similarly-sized schools.

In terms of facilities, the Coast Guard Academy has excellent athletic infrastructure. Specifically, the rugby teams usually practice on the lower fields of the academy's campus. These fields are well-maintained and provide ample space for practice and matches.

The rugby program is known on campus for its strong camaraderie and spirit. Joining the team can provide not only a chance to pursue your passions on the rugby pitch, but also opportunities to bond with your peers and share meaningful experiences.

For further insight, you might want to reach out to current players or coaches via the Academy's athletic department to learn more about their experiences and the current state of the program.
