Wichita High School Rugby

🏆 Bloodfest 7’s Champions! 🏆

Our boys came to Austin hungry and are headed home with the Bloodfest 7’s High School Division Championship Trophy!

A huge thank you to Coach Josh and men’s player Varun for making the trip, driving, and coaching the team all weekend. Special thanks to Coach Josh’s wife for clearing his calendar and helping make this opportunity possible.

Thank you to our incredible alumni base for donating funds to help cover team expenses and support these players.

And a big shoutout to Team Dad Corey for all the sideline support, video coverage, and whatever else the team needed throughout Bloodfest.

This championship was truly a team effort, both on and off the field. Proud of these young men for the way they represented Wichita Rugby all weekend.

Champions. 🏆

📣 Exciting news from Wichita Alumn Britton Harper:

Patience is a good attribute. When you finally get to what you've been working toward, you know it was worth every bit of the time and effort.

Roughly four years ago, I started a process with a simple but ambitious goal — to find a home for Wichita rugby. Not just a field to borrow. A real home. A place where we could build a clubhouse, develop multiple fields, and create something that players from around the region, the nation, and beyond would want to experience. We had many discussions with landowners, realtors and the City of Wichita searching for a place to create a legacy.

Today, the City of Wichita approved a lease for 23 acres at South Lakes Park.

This means three full-size, grass rugby fields, a dedicated youth field, changing rooms, showers, and the foundation for an indoor practice facility and clubhouse — things rugby players dream of having.

This didn't happen overnight, and it didn't happen alone. Thank you to the members of the Wichita Rugby Foundation, fellow players past and present, and the City of Wichita, Wichita Park & Recreation Department for working with us to make it real.

Now it's time to roll up our sleeves and start building. The Wichita Area Rugby Complex is coming — and we intend to make it the envy of the rugby community in the United States.

🏉 The dream is becoming reality. The work starts now, and the future of rugby in Wichita has never looked brighter.

🏉 Wichita Rugby has a home. Let’s build something incredible.

A fun afternoon at the Alumni Match today!

It was great to see our HS coaches lace up the boots and get back on the pitch. Even better, we had a few of our high school players come out to watch—and two of them were brave enough to suit up and take the field with the men!

Moments like these show what makes rugby special: one club, one community, and players of all ages sharing the game together.

Thanks to everyone who came out, played, supported, and cheered from the sidelines. 🏉💛🖤

Another successful Wichita Jr Barbos Rugby Banquet!
