High School Boys Rugby in the 417 Area!

Welcome to the Southern Missouri Goonies RFC

The Southern Missouri Goonies Rugby Football Club (Goonies RFC) is more than a team. It’s a movement.

We’re here to help build strong young men through rugby, teamwork, and community. Our mission is simple: help boys in the 417 area grow into disciplined, confident, and capable young men on and off the field.

Spring Training is in Session!

You don’t have to be here from day one to join the team. Rugby is a sport you can step into at any point in the season. Whether you’re brand new, returning after a break, or just curious, you’re welcome whenever you can make it. Come as you are, train at your pace, and find your place with us on the pitch.

Goonies RFC: Tues/Thurs

Field 11 - 6:00 - 7:30 PM

We want ALL OF YOU! BIG, small, athletic, unathletic, fast, slow. Rugby is for EVERYONE! All shapes, sizes, and abilities are welcome on the rugby pitch. We'll teach you about all phases of the game as we prepare for our first season as a team.
