Rocky Mountain Rugby was originally formed as Nakahi Rugby Football Club in 2009. In 2013 Nakahi was split into multiple teams to better align with the current High School Athletic Programs of the Boise and Meridian area. We are members of USA Rugby (the national governing body for rugby in the United States, and a member of the United States Olympic Committee), Rugby Idaho (USA Rugby’s officially sanctioned State Rugby Organization [SRO] for youth rugby development in Idaho) and World Rugby (the international governing body for rugby). Since the inception of Rugby Idaho, we have made the playoffs all 8 years, advanced to the finals 7 times out of 8, and won the Idaho High School boys State Championship in both 2011, 2013, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021. (2020 there was no season)
Our alumni are currently playing for collegiate teams throughout America, including some teams that are members of the Premiership league (top league in the country): ARMY (West Point), BYU, University of Utah, Boise State, University of Idaho, Idaho State, Utah Valley, and Northern Arizona (NAU) to name a few. We have both girls and boys represent the USA as High School All-Americans. As coaches, we expect our players to work hard, to demonstrate respect for their team and their opponents, and conduct themselves as gentlemen. We promote sportsmanship, responsibility, discipline and dedication to family and friends. Our positive coaching methods and relationships with our players set us apart from other teams, regardless of the sport. We take pride in ourselves as Players, Parents, Coaches and Corporate Sponsors.
