Introducing Rugby HTX

The Houston SaberCats’ high performance pathway to earn a spot onto the SaberCats squad. Rugby HTX will have all of the same amenities available as the SaberCats. Skill coaching positional coaching, up to date tactics and skills, video analysis and S&C coaching. 

This is an invitation team. Invitations are earned by attending one of our combines, submittal of a rugby CV and video footage of recent play and recommendations from coaches.

Structured strength and conditioning programs and video analysis will also play a major role in the program. It will be a capped team of 30 players that will either be invited into the program or who have made the team from a combine event.
