Robbie Haynes is originally from Columbia, SC and has lived in Orlando for about 7 years. He has been on the Orlando Otters since October ‘22 and brings with him a background in MMA and basketball. Robbie joined the team to stay active and meet new people. Outside of rugby you can catch him fishing, cooking or at trivia night at a brewery. He also thinks candles are a really big deal.

🏉🦦 Meet the team! 🦦🏉

Cesar aka Capri joined our team back in may and has become such a little brother to the team! All the way from São Paulo, Brazil, Cesar has lived in Orlando for the past 8 years. Cesar joined rugby to get back into sports and has always wanted to try rugby. On the field you’ll find him either playing a flank or wing. Hobbies include video games, photography, and occasionally working on the teams nerves ♥️. Fun fact Cesar is obsessed with Neon Genesis Evangelion and that is his favorite tattoo. Cesar it’s been so awesome with you on the team and please keep on being weird! 👽 ⁣

David joined the team back in August. He joined to build a community and a brotherhood of like minded humans. Originally from Coral Springs, he has lived in Orlando on and off for about 10 years. As you can tell he is built like a forward and isn’t afraid to get hit. Hobbies include kayaking, skydiving, and watching movies. (We love a well rounded queen). Speaking of skydiving this man has jumped out of eight planes and still is ready for more! Welcome to the team David! ⁣

Cliff joined the team this past September as a way to meet new people & make friends all while working on his fitness. Originally from West Palm Beach, Cliff moved to the Orlando about 10 years ago. Though he has been with us a short while, he has proven to be just a powerhouse as a forward! When he is not on the field you can most likely find him napping, catching up on the housewives of (insert city here), or working on his skincare. Lastly you didn’t hear it from me but apparently the way to his heart is through French fries 🍟!

Welcome to the team Cliff!!! ⁣
