About the Club
Carleton College Rugby
Carleton Oaks Mens RFC
Founded in 1968, the Carleton College Men’s Rugby Football Club—known as the Oaks—has built a proud tradition of competitive rugby and tight-knit community in Northfield, Minnesota. The club welcomes players of all experience levels and emphasizes growth, teamwork, and respect for the game. On the pitch, the Oaks are known for their physical play, smart rugby, and commitment to improving each season. Off the pitch, the team balances academics, athletics, and camaraderie, representing Carleton College with pride both on campus and across the Midwest rugby community. The Oaks can usually be found mastering the craft of gameplay on their home pitch, scoring all A’s on their schoolwork, or getting up to Northfield shenanigans (but not on Fridays because Saturday’s a rugby day). Whether he’s pushing past the try line or celebrating a week of hard work, you can count on a Carleton rugger to strive both on and off the pitch.
