Pat Moroney has been involved with Rugby for over 35 years as a player, coach, referee, and administrator. He played in Ireland, England, Wales, South Africa, and America.
He is currently studying for a Master's Degree in Science Performance Coaching. Pat's athletic qualifications include World Rugby Levels I, II & III, Positive Coaching Alliance Double-Goal Coach, World Rugby Strength & Conditioning, and USA Soccer Grassroots coaching to 11v11.

Pat is currently Director of Communications for Rugby New Jersey and serves on Jersey Shore Youth Rugby and Central Monmouth Rugby boards.
Pat is originally from Dublin, Ireland, and moved to New York in 2001. He has lived in Middletown since 2003 and is married with two children.
As CBA's Head Rugby Coach, he was responsible for starting the program in fall 2010, creating a three-year plan to bring the students through non-contact, Rookie Rugby 7s and interscholastic 15s and 7s competition.
The team achieved Varsity status in the second year of play and won the NJ High School State Championship the same year. In the second year as a Varsity sport, CBA made States and lost in a penalty shootout. Four players made the All-State team, and six players made the New Jersey Junior Varsity All-Star team at the Challenge Cup RAST. As the program has developed, we added fall sevens where the U16 and U18 groups had continued success.
Many of our athletes have gone on to play Rugby in college and at the men's level. Colleges attended by our athletes include - Cornell, Columbia, Penn State, Catholic, Rutgers, Iona College, VMI, Colgate, Villanova, Drew, Richmond, Fordham, UCLA, RIT, Minnesota, Loyola, Towson, Georgetown, Roger Williams University, Salve Regina, Providence, University of Miami, Virginia Tech, Lehigh, Perdue, University of Vermont, Furman, Syracuse, William and Mary, University of South Florida, Seton Hall, Wake Forest, Elon, Drew, Delaware and more.
