Club History: Who Are We?
The LA Rebellion Rugby Football Club is the only rugby team in Los Angeles welcoming all players, regardless of age, race, fitness level or sexual orientation. Like all people
in the City of Angels, we come from many different walks of life. But there is one thing that brings us together... Our love for the game of
Rugby.
We welcome any and all who would like to partake
in the fun, both on and off the Pitch. Rugby in general, and the Rebellion in specific, has a place for all types. Younger or older, heavy or thin, gay, straight or whatever... We're just here to play rugby and have a good time. If
you’re looking for an aggressive sport with a healthy side of
beer, brotherhood and bone-crushing fun, come out to one of our weekly practices and check it out.
The LA Rebellion pledges to:
- Encourage self-confidence and motivation of
all its players
- Field a team to play competitive rugby in Southern
California and around the world

Join the Revolution!
Does it matter if you've played sports before?
No. Many of our players either played sports a very long time ago or not at all. Its never too late to learn, and the benefits of regular sports practice will amaze you.
Does it matter if you're out of shape and afraid rugby is too demading?
No, Rugby can be a demanding sport, but our regular weekly practices are designed to build the fitness levels of every player, no matter how out of shape you are. And you'll find our kind of workouts to be fun and engaging, and inclusive to all players no matter what level of experience and/or fitness they bring to the Pitch.
