Our Core Values

Through a dedication to one another both on and off the field, the Griffins are more than just a rugby club, we are family. Our members range in age from 18-80 and come from all across the globe and every walk of life. If you're looking for an accepting and welcoming group, look no further. Together we achieve more.

Camaraderie

We play to win. As a Division III men’s club, we pair a high-energy social culture with a relentless drive for excellence on the pitch. Our training sessions are intense, demanding, and designed to develop top-tier rugby players. Every time we take the pitch, we play to honor the jersey and leave everything out there.

Competitiveness

Commitment is the foundation of our club's longevity. On the pitch, it means disciplined attendance at training, accountability to your teammates, and a shared responsibility to maintain our competitive standard. Off the pitch, that dedication extends directly to the city we represent. Established in 1969, the Griffins remain actively involved in local volunteer initiatives and community service, ensuring we give back to the Upstate community that has backed us for decades.
