The mission of the North Pitt United Rugby Club is to promote the development of all student athletes through the sport of rugby.  We challenge student athletes to be Open to Growth – within their academics, athletics and physical capacities, but also their individual character.  We provide student athletes with the opportunity to experience a high performance atmosphere where teammates can explore what it means to be fully dedicated to one common goal & learn how to grow from both their successes & failures. 

While our goal is the development of each and every individual both on and off the pitch, this goal is pursued in a team atmosphere.  While our goals are primarily personal development, the crucible in which this development occurs in a high performance rugby club.  

All stakeholders of the North Pitt United Rugby Club – players, parents, coaches and alumni – are responsible for supporting this mission.   

Humility

Often when athletes, and people in general, achieve the goals they have set for themselves, they start feeling superior and this leads them to forgetting certain values that have possibly helped them to achieved those very goals: effort, perseverance, self-respect, etc.  At the North Pitt United Rugby Club, we believe Humility consists of standing by one’s values, as well as maintaining and defending them even in situations where one may be superior and more successful.

Excellence

Excellence is a value that can allow us to grow as individuals.  This is best taught during training sessions, where it allows our players to foster a growth mindset and to respect the process.  Preparation is key to all individual and/or team success. The ability to work hard when you don’t feel like it is a major life lesson that we hope to instill into all of our athletes within the North Pitt United Rugby Club. 

Integrity

Integrity is “doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.”  We value fair play and thankfulness.  We honor the game!!!

Respect

Respect for others is one of the basic requirements in our daily lives. Respect is a fundamental part of sport. We know that sport generates situations of tension that have to be resolved almost instantaneously. Therefore, above rules and standards, this value is needed to be present in order to guarantee cordial and correct interrelations between people.
