The Patuxent River Rugby Football Club was established in 1990, with the goal to promote the sport of rugby, and provide a fun and safe field of competition for athletes of all skill levels. Our Youth Rugby program (co-ed, touch Rugby) experienced a 5-fold increase in participation in its' 4-year existence. We also give back to the community through our participation with various charitable organizations such as the Wounded Warrior Project, Pets for Vets, Red Cross and other local non-profit organizations.

Putts For Pups Event Sponsored By Pax Rugby Raised $1,250
by AF Bob (editing only) posted 07/13/2012
Pax River Rugby sponsored a fundraiser on June 9th, however, we weren’t raising money for our own organization - instead, all profits went to the DC Chapter of Pets for Vets (serving Maryland, Virginia and the District).
Brittany Sovine, DC Chapter Director for Pets for Vets, said the organization rescues shelter dogs and trains them specifically for a returning war veteran who suffers physical/emotional injuries related to military service. The money helps the organization train the dogs and provides the new owner with everything they need to start taking care of their new pet.
Pax River Rugby is always searching for other non-profit organizations that they can help. In the past five years, Pax Rugby raised over $8,000 for other organizations such as the American Red Cross and The Wounded Warrior Foundation. Raising money for Pets for Vets was a natural fit. At the end of the day, besides the smiles and appreciative tail-wags from those in attendance, Pax Rugby was able to donate $1,250 to this great cause!
To honor Sexual Assault Awareness Month (April), several members of the Pax River Rugby Club participated in the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event at St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM). The event, co-sponsored by Walden Behavioral Health, Pax River Women' Rugby, and SMCM, was held to raise awareness about sexual violence in our community. The team walked a mile in high heel shoes in a symbolic effort to show support for survivors of sexual violence.
Local Ruggers "Grow The Game" In Trinidad And Tobago
by AF Bob (editing only) posted 07/11/2012
Pax River Rugby Players took time out of their schedules during a recent tour of Trinidad and Tobago to visit four schools in the Marabella area of Trinidad. In a country whose sports scene is dominated by Cricket, Soccer and Field Hockey, SoMD players got the opportunity to meet and spread the sport of Rugby to students, elementary through high school levels. Included in the visits were trips to Gasparillo Government Primary School, Vos Government Primary School, St. Peter's Primary School and St. Benedict’s College. Local guide Wayne Pantor, a former Severn River Rugby player, coordinated the visits with Physical Education Teachers so that the children were able to run basic skill drills with the visiting American players. The students all showed great enthusiasm and curiosity towards the American players while other students were star struck and asked for autographs from many of the US players. Jared Clover, a Physical Education Teacher in Prince George's County, Maryland, said this of the experience, “It was great to be able to spread the word of the Rugby game internationally, and it was a thrill to be asked for my autograph.” The Patuxent River Rugby Club, in addition to skill demonstrations and teaching fundamentals of the game, also handed out over 100 t-shirts, pins, and stickers to the children in appreciation for their time. The day culminated with an impromptu 10 minute 2-hand touch scrimmage with the high school students. Pantor remarked “I am working with Physical Education Teachers to add Rugby to the school curriculum for the next year. This is just the first of many steps in making this a reality!” The Patuxent River RFC continues to grow the sport of Rugby in SoMD, with a co-ed, touch Rugby youth team (ages 5-14) beginning in May.
