Belmont Shore

Belmont Shore Rugby Club is one of the leading  rugby clubs in the US. Established in 1974, the Club has won 22 National Championships, fielded 3 Paris Olympians, and currently has 10 players at the national level for Men, Women, and Youth teams. We're proud of our 50+ players who have played for US national teams. That said, Belmont's Youth program just received unprecedented news. 

 

Two Belmont Youth  alumni, Freda Tafuna and Sariah Ibarra, were named to the 2025 USA Women's World Cup team. We are thrilled to see these confident, responsible, and capable young women represent Belmont and the US on the world stage. They are shining examples of leadership and character.

 

Simply put, Belmont uses rugby as a platform for youth development to foster confidence, self esteem, and community inclusion. Our Youth program has grown from  ~10 players in 2005 to around 400 today.  Through various initiatives and supportive networks, we've fostered  the largest, most impactful Youth rugby program in the US. We're very excited about one such initiative, "College Bound", which has its first large group of college bound seniors embarking on their Fall 2025 journeys shortly !

"On field" success is easily recognizable for us.  And "off-field", we'll continue to innovate and invest in our Youth Program long term, including a focus on Alumni giving back, and through various community partnerships in Long Beach and greater Southern California.
