Facilities
Wayne State Rugby Football Club has 3 Non-Varsity game fields
that are used under the Student Activities Office on campus.
All 3 of these fields are plush grass, and by far the softest
rugby pitches around.
Three other fields are located next to the rugby fields.
These fields are the practice fields for varsity football
and soccer fields. This brings a total of 6 playing areas
right behind the WSC Football Stadium and Rec Center parking
lot.
In late February, when we start rugby back up again for the
2nd semester, we can use the REC Center after closing time.
Being indoors in a building 100 yards X 55 yards does help
us prepare for the upcoming March schedule.
