Biography

Johannes “Neets” Gericke already has an impressive playing and coaching CV put together at a prime age of 28. Neets is a product of Stellenbosch Rugby Football Club, the second oldest rugby club in South Africa and was founded in 1875. As a stateside player he has played 3 years with the Life Men’s Senior team and has already won a 2017 National Championship.

On the other side of the white line, Neets is a USA Level 300 coach and has been a Graduate Assistant to Colton Cariaga since 2017. His creative defensive strategies and forwards focus have been significant factors towards (x2) D1A USA Rugby Collegiate National Championships.
