Griffins Rugby Club Contact: Dan Roberts Phone: (864) 467-1946 |
Founded
in the early 1970s, the Greenville Griffins are one of the top rugby teams
in the Southeast. But Griffins are more than just a top-notch rugby team,
they promote and take care of the their sport. The Griffins also work hard in the community. Twice a year our club picks up trash along East North Street in Greenville as part of the "adopt-a-highway" program. We also have a strong relationship with Communities in Schools, a Greenville non-profit agency the mentors at-risk youth. Once a year our club treats these youngsters to game, rugby "exercises" and a hot dog lunch. The Griffins are also a strong social club. We work hard on the pitch and play hard afterwards – at post game parties, Greenville Grrrowl Hockey games or informal gatherings anywhere. We’re a close group where friendships are made for lifetime. |
