Peter Tuzzolino is the founder and head coach of the Pittsford Rugby team. He began playing rugby in 2000 at SUNY Geneseo where he played hooker for the Warthogs.

Coach Tuzzolino has been teaching social studies at Pittsford Sutherland since 2005 and started the team at the request of students in the spring of '06. The team was founded with the intention of introducing young athletes in the Pittsford community to the game of rugby in the spirit of fair play and respect for competition.

Coach Tuzzolino would like to thank all of the players, parents, coaches, and fans who have supported the team over the years. A special thank you to the Pittsford Rugby Booster Club and members of the coaching staff who volunteer their time so that the team can continue to grow.
