Welcome to the official website of the
Babson United Rugby Club! Founded in 1979 at Babson College
by Tim DeMello, "BURC" seeks to promote the wonderful
game of rugby and brotherly sportsmanship in a challenging,
fun environment.
Wholly independent of Babson College's
varsity athletics program, yet ardently supported by the school's
administration, BURC supports itself primarily through member
dues, alumni contributions, and an annual stipend from the
College's student-led steering committe, based upon need as
identified in our annual budget.
Babson College also lends invaluable
support to the club through our use the school's weight-lifting
room, indoor track, training facilities, and sports physio
services. Without the support of the College, the BURC wouldn't
be nearly as strong as it is today, and we do our best to
do the Babson name proud.
Club membership is not based on athletic
ability. Anyone can play rugby for BURC...all you need is
boots and a gumshield (cleats and a mouthpiece). If you happen
to love rugby, but aren't necessarily interested in lacing
up your boots, you can always become a social club member.
You don't even have to slice oranges...just show up and cheer
us on!
So come on out and join us...you'll be
glad you did!
