Each Club MUST have the following to play:

2. A printed Gareth Jones Divisional Roster with each player’s name. Download a blank roster for your club here. No other roster form, digital copies, or photos will be accepted.
3. A printed, signed and completed waiver for each player on the roster. No pictures, emails, or digital copies will be accepted. Players without waivers will be removed from the roster and not allowed to participate. Download the waiver here.

The Gareth Jones Tournament is run by the Texas A&M Men’s Rugby Club. Players and coaches get together to provide the opportunity for a fun day of rugby for the youth who attend.  

The 2024 Student Tournament Director is Dylan Dominey. To contact us with questions about the tournament, please follow this link.
