College sport ends. Your playing days can continue.
The first job, a new city, a different routine. Senior club rugby gives recent graduates a way to keep a team sport in their lives—and a new group of teammates to build with.
You know what it means to turn up, put in the work and back your teammates. Bring that attitude into club rugby, whether you played at college or are picking up a rugby ball for the first time.
OMBAC has played rugby in San Diego since 1966. Its championship history is an invitation to contribute: join the training group, develop your game and help the next team compete.
