members as well as prospective members, of varying ability levels, to participate in Rugby Culture. This is achieved by each
member bringing their talents to practice, matches, fundraisers, team bonding exercises, and tournaments. The focus of the
Fallen Angels WRFC is to basically be, Mother Fucking Balls to the Wall Awesome, by promoting enthusiastic interaction
between a diverse group of individuals.Camaraderie among all Ruggers,
be they members of our club or another, is strongly emphasized. A key focus of
the program is to help build confidence, fitness, a competitive physical outlet, and a life long interest in Rugby. The Fallen Angels
are prepared to, within reasonable ability, work with members to help find a balance between other activities, academics,
and employment, should Rugby be a sure interest.
