ABOUT THE CLUB
Having a long and proud history of Rugby in the Santa Barbara, California area, Westmont re-emerged in 1993 after nearly a twenty-year absence as a College Club, originally known as the Lions. The club is a member of the United States Rugby Football Union, competing in Collegiate Division II of the Southern California Rugby Football Union, The club’s league accomplishments include a final four SCRFU appearance in 1998 and 1999. In 2000 the Warriors made it to the Championship Match, finishing 2nd in Southern California and 8th in the nation in Collegiate Division II. Most recently, the club finished the 2003 league season with a record of 6-2 but was ineligible for the post-season play due to touring commitments. The club has established a tradition of touring abroad every two years. Past tours include a 1997 tour of New Zealand’s South Island, South Africa in 1999, New Zealand in 2001, and Australia in 2003.

  • Date Established: 1992-93
  • Mission Statement: Quiet Confidence.
  • Team Colors: Maroon, Black, and White.


MISSION STATEMENT
Westmont Rugby is first and foremost a ministry opportunity; first to yourself and then to those around you. The philosophy and discipline of the sport shall be a means by which you grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. We will train to win both the mental and physical battle of rugby. The true test, however, is to progress in our spiritual journey so that there too we may win the prize. It is through our deep commitment to each other as teammates and brothers in Christ that we find strength to prevail. *Quiet Confidence* is our motto; quiet because we are confident and confident because of our higher calling. Win or lose, such is the game, it is how we win or lose which is most important. Actions speaking louder than words requires discipline; personal and communal; on and off the field. Our mission is bold and our message is clear: We play rugby as ambassadors of Christ and representatives of self.
