San Isidro Club

What San Isidro Club does

San Isidro Club (SIC), founded December 14, 1935 in Boulogne, San Isidro, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, is a private member-governed sports club organized under a Comisión Directiva (Board of Directors). The club offers structured rugby and field hockey programs across age divisions — rugby from infantiles (M6 through M14) and juveniles (M15 through M19) through senior planteles (M23 and above, fielding eight senior teams from Primera through Preintermedia F) — alongside hockey divisions spanning menores (10MA through 5TA) and senior teams (Segunda, Cuartas, Intermedia, Primera). SIC competes in the URBA Top 14 rugby championship and has won 27 URBA titles, a 2023 URBA Top 12 and Nacional de Clubes double, and matches against selected national teams from ten countries. The club's core identity is rooted in the 1935 'Sans Cullotes' split from Club Atlético de San Isidro (CASI) and the methodological legacy of coaches Catamarca Ocampo and Veco Villegas, who developed the coordinated push scrum ('la bajadita').

Revenue is generated principally through tiered annual and seasonal membership and registration fees — cónyuge membership at ARS 21,725, rugby infantil at ARS 71,550–92,100, juvenil/superior at ARS 114,550, and active member re-registration at ARS 86,900 — supplemented by ARS 50,000 synthetic F5 pitch rentals (members-only), on-site bar receipts, and corporate sponsorship income from Banco Macro (three-year anchor deal signed May 2021), Motorola, Guinness, CCC, Kia, and Paty. Distribution is hybrid: an online self-service member portal (clubsic.miclub.info) handles sign-ups and renewals, while a physical secretaría at Monroe 404, Boulogne supports in-person transactions during posted office hours. Marketing is primarily community-led via word-of-mouth, the club's own website and Instagram, and earned coverage in La Nación and URBA league communications. The club maintains a charitable partnership with Casa de Galilea in the La Cava neighborhood and supports the Fundación de la Unión Argentina de Rugby (FUAR).

The organization operates a 11–50 headcount across two locations (Boulogne headquarters at Monroe 404 and an Anexo at Camino Real Morón 1998, San Isidro), with current leadership comprising President Germán Cilley, Vice President Bruno Vitale, Secretary Diego Pasman, and Treasurer Rafael Rivero Ayerza, alongside elected vocales and revisores de cuentas. The club has no external parent company, no venture capital ownership, and no app or API surface; it does not disclose revenue or financial statements.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Fundación de la Unión Argentina de Rugby (FUAR)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSIC actively supports and partners with the Fundación UAR (FUAR), the charitable foundation of the Argentine Rugby Union. The club promotes donations to FUAR's 'FUAR Somos Todos' campaign through its website and facilities, and its members engage in community outreach programs such as the partnership with Casa de Galilea in the La Cava neighborhood.
• Casa de GalileaminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerSIC maintains a charitable partnership with Casa de Galilea, a community organization in the La Cava neighborhood (one of the most underserved areas near the club). The partnership, initiated by former player and member Roberto 'Bobe' Cazenave, involves ongoing community support, fundraising, and engagement. A formal cooperation agreement was signed during César Silveyra's presidency.
• Club Atlético de San Isidro (CASI)minorOthersAlthough rivals in competition, SIC and CASI share a deep historical connection — SIC was founded in 1935 by players who left CASI. The clubs maintain a common identity rooted in the same neighborhood, and SIC's colors (white, black, and sky blue) reflect the CASI rugby and football shirts of origin. The relationship is characterized by fierce sporting rivalry alongside shared heritage.
