On the field
Coaches Pate Tuisue and Andrew Leilua foster a supportive yet competitive team environment. With a squad full of skill and athleticism, our style is expansive and fast-paced. Our coaches truly believe in each player while also placing precedence on team or “Family” atmosphere and objectives. They look weekly, to put the most “honed-in” and competitive team on the field. Every week each player has an opportunity to not only expand their skills and knowledge of the game but to contend for a spot as one of the Starting 15 and on the 23 man roster. With both a Starting and Developmental side playing each week, every player has the chance to see or participate in game time action.
Off the field
Located on the west coast in lovely Eugene, Oregon, the University of Oregon is a leading academic institution. The Club brings the same unity that can be seen on the field to everything off the pitch as well, leading to social and academic togetherness. With a variety of departments, programs, majors and minors etc to choose from at the University, our Rugby Duck student-athletes represent faces to that diverse pool of academic avenues. Teammates in the same degree program(s) will often take many of those classes together thus leading to an enriching academic experience. Socially, the team is very close off the field too, whilst many upperclassmen teammates live together off campus, creating a variety of places for team members to come socialize on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Joining the University of Oregon Rugby Duck Club is a holistic college experience that leads not only to successes in the classrooms but to successes out on the pitch and an engaging overall college experience. Through all of this it is our club hope that our student-athletes become more well-rounded, positive and enlightening people.
