Murphs Rugby Football Club: High School Rugby Program (Grades 9-12)
Murphs Rugby Football Club (MRFC) is proud to bring the fastest-growing sport in the United States to Greenville, Texas, and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to building a strong, inclusive rugby community focused on teamwork, respect, and character development.
Why Play High School Rugby with MRFC?
Our High School Tackle Rugby program offers a truly competitive and developmental experience, preparing young athletes for success both on and off the field. This is full-contact, competitive rugby focused on advanced skills, game strategy, and physical fitness. Playing high school rugby is an excellent way to prepare for collegiate and club rugby while developing lifelong leadership and teamwork skills.
