Mission Statement

At JBU, our Rugby Club pursues the head-heart-hand philosophy of John Brown University. We seek to combine the hard hitting game of rugby with Christ-like attitudes and actions. Our team desires not only to improve our skills in the sport of rugby, but also to be a positive Christian witness on and off the field. Our team finishes each practice and each match with prayer and a united singing of the "Doxology". This serves to remind all who look on the true reason for the club and to whom we give all glory and honor for the team, Jesus Christ.

HEAD - For most, rugby involves the learning of a new game. Our team at JBU works together in the learning of the sport, and the fine tuning of the necessary skills which are required for the high intensity, quick-minded game of rugby.

HEART - At JBU, we have a team that displays a great desire to win, a never-give-up determination, and a dedication to God, the team, and fellow teammates.

HAND - The blood, sweat, and tears of the game. A great deal of training, conditioning, and effort are put into this rugby team by the players. This game requires a great deal of hard work and rigorous practice, all of which are highly valued and heartily pursued by the JBU ruggers.
