North Greenville University welcomes the first rugby club to campus. Rugby is a type of football that originated in Rugby, Warwickshire. It is one of many sports played in the 19th century and is now becoming a new sport on campus.
Logan Shipman has taken on the responsibility as coach for the team. Shipman states, �I look forward to being able to share my wisdom and being able to play and coach this great sport that I personally cannot get enough of.”
Shipman went on to say that he wants to give everyone a chance to play a sport. Rugby is a very fun and intense sport. It is also super fun to learn.
When Shipman was asked what his plans are as a leader in the new club, his response was �To develop friendships of the player and establish a solid rugby club for the university. I love this sport more than anything. It is the best sport I have ever played and I want others to experience that.�
Shipman also makes known that the team is currently looking for seven tournaments to enter the team into. He added �This will give us the publicity I feel that we need to attract more people to the club.�
Coach Shipman encourages people who are interested to come out to their practices every Monday and Wednesday at 5:15 p.m. on the field beside the stud.
The coach was asked where he hopes to see the club this time next year. His response was, �I would love to see us playing 15s in a regular season and not being limited to playing in 7s tournaments.�
