The Indianapolis Impalas Rugby Club is a non-profit, amatuer club open to men with a desire to play rugby or just be part of a great group of guys.  The Indianapolis Impalas have one of the most talented squads in the US with USA National Team player Donny Younger, former Super Leauge All-Star Scott Peterson, and NA4 wing Ian Neberiezia.  This is the second National Championship quest for Indianapolis in the past 5 years.  The team competed in the 2004 Nationals finishing 4th in the Nation.

The club is seeking financial support in its mission to bring back a National Championship to Indianapolis.  The team has already held several fundraisers including dinners and car washes in preparations for the traveling, but since all of the players are amateurs, and pay for their traveling themselves, they welcome any financial or publicity support possible.
