Columbus Coyotes Rugby Football Club

Columbus Coyotes Rugby Football Club The Columbus Coyotes Rugby Football Club is an LGBTQ+ inclusive club with over 35 players. It competes in Division 2 of the IGR and Division 4 of USA Rugby.

The club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In 2011, a group of guys started an inclusive rugby team to eliminate homophobia in contact sports. They called this team the Columbus Coyotes Rugby Football Club. Six years later on May 6th 2017, the Coyotes celebrated a milestone in moving closer to that goal. We defeated Youngstown Steel Valley, marking the first time in Coyotes history of beatin

g a non-IGR team. With this historic win, we showed that men of any sexual orientation can be strong, tough, and capable enough to play any sport. It took us six years to reach this level. We would like to take this opportunity to encourage all IGR teams to continue learning, improving, and striving towards equality in sports. We would also like to thank everyone who helped get us to this point. This includes all current and past Coyotes, particularly the founding members, IGR, USA Rugby, current and past board members, coaches, sponsors, and supporters. With your help and support, we will continue to eliminate homophobia in contact sports and make the pitch a safe place for us all. Adam Murray
President 2016-2017
