This Season's Stories

The Record

Wesleyan Is Building a Women's Rugby Program in Macon, and It Can Pay Georgia Players to Stay

Panoz Field, Wesleyan College, Macon. Photo: Wesleyan Athletics

Georgia keeps producing rugby players and then watching them leave to keep playing. Wesleyan College in Macon is building a reason to stay. The Wolves launch a women's varsity program in Fall 2027, starting in sevens with a path to fifteens, and because Wesleyan turned NAIA in 2026 it can put athletic scholarships on the table. Stack that on academic aid, HOPE, Zell Miller and the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant, head coach Christopher Parks says, and for students who qualify, the strongest combinations can reduce the remaining cost to zero. We sent him six questions.

Forty to five is the number. The number leaves out the part where Life spent the second half in the visitors' 22, short three of their own players, days into camp.

Atlanta Harlequins women's side took silver at the Vulcan 7s in Birmingham, a run that, by the club's own June 28 account, leaned on first-time sevens players. Summer 7s practices keep going Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7:30 to 9 PM at Walker Park, and the invitation is verbatim: "All are welcome."
