About National Small College Rugby Organization Since 2002, the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO) has been at the forefront of fostering and developing small college rugby programs in the United States. NSCRO is comprised of more than 240 men’s and 105 women’s colleges and universities who participate in more than 30 leagues for an opportunity compete on a national level and showcase their abilities to a broader and larger audience.
By focusing on small colleges and universities, we help bring these schools, their teams and players exposure outside of their conference/union while also giving them a chance at a national title and ranking. NSCRO provides a responsive national organization dedicated to small colleges and universities which has helped legitimize rugby in the eyes of school administrators. The increased visibility and recognition from NSCRO has led to better school support, greater on-campus interest in rugby and more alumni involvement.
Our goals are simple: Foster the growth and development of men and women’s small college rugby in the United States. Provide top-level competition and promote high-level sportsmanship on and off the field. Be a resource for small college rugby players, coaches, trainers and staff; and, offer a sense of community for NSCRO members. NSCRO is “The Home of Small College Rugby in America”.
