"Families are the compass
that guide us They are the inspiration to reach
great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally
falter."
~ Brad Henry
Ohana
We are
one of the top high school rugby programs in the
U.S. We draw our players from a number of
different high schools in the Washington
Metropolitan area. We have an outstanding
international coaching staff. We love rugby -
but more than that we love honor, we love
commitment, we love integrity, we love brotherhood,
we love community.
- We are a rugby family - an "Ohana"
to use a Polynesian term
,
And in a "Ohana"
- nobody gets forgotten - nobody gets left
behind.
We have been in existence now for only four
years.
Our first year, we lost every regular season
game, but came back to win three playoff games and
eventually the second division state championship
for the State of Virginia. In our second
season we were 5 and 2 and lost in the semifinals of
the first division state play offs for the State of
Virginia. Last year two years we went undeafeted
until the State Championship game. We will remember
at all times and keep before us 15 - 9, the final
score in the 2010 State Championship.
We strive for excellence, but we welcome all
players and families. If you want to play A
side, commit yourself to serious rugby and all it
requires - and compete to play for the US national
side (as one of our players has) we have a place for
you.
If you want to play for fun, and join a community
that welcomes everyone with open arms, we have a
place for you.
We only ask that you give us your commitment to
play with honor, to play with integrity, and to join
our community - our
Ohana.
Not everyone can play A side—but we value every
one of our players. Rugby is the ultimate team
sport, and you do not measure rugby teams solely by
their won-loss record. You judge them by their
commitment to all of their players, and all of their
families.
Join us—become a part of our
Ohana.
