"I'm honored and excited to be taking over as head coach of the Danville Oaks Boys Varsity program," said Schubert. "I look forward to building upon the strong rugby foundations and winning culture established by recent head coaches Chris O'Brien, David Liebowitz and Jon Straka. We are eagerly anticipating and preparing for another highly competitive Northern California high school rugby season in 2022."

Schubert began his rugby career at Jesuit High School in Carmichael, California where they won the 2006 National High School Rugby Championship. He then played college rugby for the University of California Berkeley where he captained the Cal Bears and won five consecutive USA Rugby Collegiate Championships. Schubert was a Collegiate All-American and also earned two consecutive Woodley Awards in 2001 and 2002, an award then given to the top collegiate rugby player.

Schubert started all four matches for the USA during the 2003 Rugby World Cup, scoring three tries, a USA Rugby World Cup record. Schubert joined the Welsh side Cardiff Blues in the Celtic League in August 2004 where he played until 2006.

Schubert joined the University of California coaching staff from 2007 to 2008 as an assistant to Head Coach Jack Clark.

He quickly moved to the Varsity coaching staff and coached the Oaks forwards to the 2018 National Invitational Championship. Schubert was recently inducted into the Cal Athletics Hall of Fame in June 2021.

With Danville Head Coach Chris O'Brien moving on to coach at Cal Poly, the Oaks needed a Varsity Head Coach, and turned to Schubert. A team statement said that the Oaks "are very excited that a coach and player of the caliber of Schubert has moved into the Head Coaching role of the Oaks Boys Varsity program. The Oaks are keeping consistency in the coaching staff by retaining current coaches David Liebowitz (former Cal national champion and All-American) and Jon Beck (former Cal national champion and All-American) on the staff."

Additional Oaks coaches will be added to round out the Boys Varsity staff.
