PLAY RUGBY

If your football, basketball, or track days are over—but you still miss competing—this might be what you’re looking for.

Gaston County Rugby is a group of athletes who still want to train hard, hit something on Saturdays, and chase a shared goal together. No egos. No politics. Just work, competition, and a team that has your back.

Never played rugby? Most of us hadn’t either.
If you can run, tackle, lift, or compete—you’ll fit right in.

We train together. We travel together. We compete together.
And when the whistle blows, we grab a b**r, host socials, and build real friendships off the field too.

If you’re looking for:
• A competitive outlet after football, basketball, etc.
• A tight-knit team atmosphere
• Structured training with purpose
• And a social group that feels more like family

Come give rugby a shot.

New players always welcome.
No experience needed.

📍 88 Hill St, Belmont, NC 28012
📅 Practices Mondays & Wednesdays

DM us or show up. You’ll know if it’s for you.

What a day on the pitch! 🏉

The Gargoyles traveled to Johnson City today and came away with a hard-fought 31–19 win. Huge thanks to Johnson City Rugby Club for hosting us and for the great sportsmanship throughout the match.

👏 Man of the Match: Shatahrri Rodriguez — dominant performance all around.
💥 Shoutout: Colin Ardrey for earning his first boot — well deserved!

We’re already looking forward to the rematch in November.
