D2 RUGBY
Help Us Launch the San Diego Surfers D2 Women's Rugby Team
The San Diego Surfers Rugby Club is exploring the launch of a new D2 Rugby Team, and we need your interest to make it happen.
We're looking to connect with players who want to learn rugby, return to the sport, or continue competing in a supportive and developmental environment. If enough players express interest, we'll officially launch our D2 program and begin building the team together.
Whether you've never picked up a rugby ball or you're returning to the sport after years away, the San Diego Surfers D2 team is the perfect place to start.
Our D2 program is built for athletes looking to learn, compete, and become part of an incredible community. We welcome women of all athletic backgrounds—soccer, basketball, volleyball, CrossFit, flag football, softball, track & field, or no sports experience at all.
If you're looking for a new challenge, lifelong friendships, and a team that supports you every step of the way, you've found it.
No rugby experience? No problem.
We'll teach you everything you need to know.

When you join the Surfers, you'll gain:
-
A welcoming and supportive community
-
Expert coaching focused on player development
-
Opportunities to learn the game from the ground up
-
Competitive matches throughout the season

Strength, confidence, and lifelong friendships
-
A club with over 50 years of history and national success
