Our Story

 

The Berkeley Rhinos Youth Rugby Club is one of the oldest and longest-lasting high school-aged clubs in Northern California. We are proud of our extended family and the traditions we have sustained developing young athletes to be their best selves for decades.

We started out in the mud and the cold scraping together just enough players to enter the competition. Players relied on their grit and tenacity to persevere. Over the years, the club has developed its parent support, coaching staff, and community involvement to become the robust organization it is today. Former players have played for elite colleges and select adult clubs. Most of our coaching staff is also composed of former players who have returned to support the club and maintain our positive culture.

Alex Glover has gone on to play Division 1 rugby at St. Mary’s College as well as select clubs in Northern California and New Zealand. He will be his first season of professional rugby with the Seatle Seawolves in 2022.
