Exiles Rugby Football Club

Every rugby club has its own story.

Some are built around competition. Some around player development. Some around tradition. Some around community. Some have been part of their town for generations. Others are only just beginning to write theirs.

None of those stories is more important than another.

Rugby is stronger when clubs have the freedom to build their own identity, culture, and purpose.

Not every player is looking for the same experience. Not every volunteer. Not every parent. Not every supporter.

And that’s one of the greatest strengths of our game.

Every club leaves something behind. Friendships. Traditions. Memories. Opportunities. A place where someone discovers rugby for the very first time.

Here’s to every club.
Every volunteer.
Every player.
Every supporter.

And to every story still being written.

Different clubs.
Different stories.
One game.

If you’ve been looking for something different, something that challenges you, supports you, and gives you a community to be part of, we’d love to meet you.

Come Belong.

A rugby club is about so much more than the game.

At the heart of every rugby club are its players. Their commitment, passion, and love of the game are what make a club possible.

But a true rugby club is more than the people who wear the jersey.

It is a community.

It is friendships that last a lifetime. Families. Volunteers. Coaches. Referees. Supporters. Sponsors. People who simply want to be part of something meaningful.

Together, we celebrate. We support one another. We serve our community. We raise funds for our club and for causes that matter. We work together to build something that will outlast us all.

Whether you come to play, coach, referee, volunteer, support, or simply find your people, there is a place for you here.

Because a rugby club isn’t just a team.

It’s a community.

Come Belong.

Unus ex nobis.

One of us.

🏉 International Rugby returns to the Olde Blind Dog this Saturday!

Wales vs South Africa
🗓️ Saturday, July 18
🕦 Kick Off: 11:40 AM

There’s no better place in North Fulton to catch international rugby than the Olde Blind Dog. Bring your friends, grab a table, enjoy great food, great people, and always a fun time while watching two of rugby’s proudest nations go head-to-head.

Plus, zero percent chance of getting rained on watching the match indoors on the big screen. 😉

See you at OBD.

We are still a go on all accounts for tonight.

“Want the weather in Georgia to change? Wait 3 minutes.”

Coach Sed will decide touch at 7 at the pitch. Social is always a go.

The best thing about Thursday nights isn’t the rugby. It’s the people.

Looking for a place to belong?

Whether you’ve played rugby for years or have never picked up a rugby ball, tonight is for you.

Our co-ed Community Touch Rugby is open to everyone 16+. It’s a relaxed, non-contact (no tackling) evening to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and experience what being part of Exiles Rugby Club is all about.

At Exiles Rugby Club, we’re a club first. Rugby is simply what brings us together.

🏉 Co-ed Community Touch Rugby (16+)
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Innovation Academy (Lower Field)
125 Milton Ave., Alpharetta

Our Men’s 7s squad will also be training tonight, proudly sponsored by Propper AI.

After training, everyone is welcome to join us for our Thursday Club Social at Olde Blind Dog. You don’t have to play rugby to be part of the club.

Come belong.

🚨 CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Exiles Rugby Football Club is proud to welcome Coach Erik Saxon to our Men’s XVs Coaching Staff.

Coach Saxon joins Head Coach Marcus Hall and Assistant Coach Eric Hellman, forming what is arguably one of the most experienced and accomplished Men’s XVs coaching staffs in club rugby across the region.

Together, this staff brings exceptional rugby résumés, outstanding coaching credentials, decades of coaching and playing experience, and a proven history of developing successful players and teams. More importantly, they are united by a common belief:

Great clubs are built from the ground up, not the top down.

Whether it’s your first season or your tenth, every player deserves the opportunity to improve, meaningful match time, and the chance to learn from one of the finest coaching staffs the club game has to offer.

Coach Saxon brings a respected rugby mind, strategic perspective, and a passion for player development that further strengthens our Men’s XVs program. His addition reinforces an environment where ideas are shared, players are challenged, and every decision is made with the long-term success of the club in mind.

His appointment marks another important step in the continued growth of Exiles RFC, and we are proud to welcome him to the club.

Unus ex nobis.
One of us.

Our Match Calendar is Taking Shape. We’d love to Add More Clubs and matches to It.

At Exiles RFC, we believe rugby is meant to be played. Our Men’s XVs calendar runs from early fall to late spring, and we’re always looking to add quality fixtures. We’re looking to add about 6 more. Why not you?!

At Exiles we believe everyone should get to play. The same goes for your club. If you have an open weekend, are playing an independent schedule like we are, we’d love to see if we can make a match happen.

Exiles are a traditional rugby club with a healthy mix of players. We’re a club that values competitive rugby, respect for our opponents, and the tradition of the post-match social. We’re proud of the hospitality we’ve become known for and are looking to welcome more clubs to the Alpharetta/Milton, Georgia area.

If you’d like to visit Exiles RFC, or see if traveling to visit you works, let’s see if our calendars line up, we’d love to hear from you.

Unfortunately, tonight’s Kids Rugby 101 & Fun has been cancelled due to weather and field conditions.

The safety of our young players always comes first.

With so many weather-related cancellations this year, we’re looking at putting together something special on a Saturday before school starts back to give the kids another opportunity to get out and play.

Thank you for your understanding. We’ll see everyone back on the pitch soon!
