Rugby is a sport for everyone. Rugby’s unique charm lies in its ability to bring together people of varying backgrounds, sizes, strengths, and skill levels. It’s a game where each player, regardless of gender or experience, finds a role that suits their abilities. At SMA Rugby, we emphasize this inclusivity in every aspect of our club culture.
Our club is a microcosm of the world, with players coming from different cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. This diversity enriches our team dynamics, bringing varied perspectives and fostering a deeper understanding and respect among our players.
One of rugby’s most beautiful aspects is how it offers a position for every body type. Whether you’re tall or short, fast, or enduring, strong, or strategic, rugby has a place for you. This message resonates strongly at SMA Rugby, where we focus on leveraging each player’s unique strengths.
Gone are the days when rugby was viewed as a male-only sport. At SMA, we’re proud to have a strong representation of female players, who bring the same intensity and passion to the game. Our club is committed to providing equal opportunities and support to all our players, regardless of gender.
No Experience? No Problem! Rugby at SMA is as much for the seasoned player as it is for the novice. Our training programs cater to all levels of experience, ensuring that everyone, from beginners to advanced players, finds their footing and grows within the sport.
Rugby is more than a sport; it’s a global family. At SMA Rugby, we’re a part of this extensive network, connecting with players and clubs worldwide. This global connection allows our players to experience and appreciate the unifying power of rugby, transcending all differences.
At SMA Rugby Club, diversity and inclusivity are not just words; they are the pillars of our existence. We believe that rugby has the power to unite, and we’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone is welcomed, respected, and given the chance to shine. Join us in celebrating the spirit of rugby – a sport truly for everyone.

Personal Stories of Inclusion
Club members who have found a sense of belonging and acceptance in rugby
Monica
"The SMA Rugby program gave me a second chance to continue playing rugby. Thanks to the unconditional support and love for rugby from our coach, Jeff, along with two other players, we were able to revive the team with the same love and discipline. Rugby has taught me the importance of teamwork, never giving up, achieving my goals, and showing respect for my opponents and my own team.
For two years, I served as the captain, and with the support of the girls from Celaya, we managed to win first place in all the tournaments in the Bajío region that we attended for two consecutive years.
