Gonzaga: A leadership Laboratory

It's a sunny Wednesday afternoon in Washington, DC. The city buzzes with its usual sounds, but on a rugby pitch in the heart of the city, something special is happening.

About 60 boys gather on the field. Some walk in confidently, chucking rugby balls back and forth. Others look a bit nervous, eyeing the oval balls with curiosity. There's lots of talking, laughing, and boyish good-to-see-you back slaps.

A whistle blows, and everyone gets serious. Teams form quickly, and soon they're playing touch rugby. If you're driving by, it might look like a normal after-school practice.

But look closer, and you'll see something unusual.
