Why Rainier Junior Rugby?
There are other youth rugby clubs in the region for you to consider-what makes Rainier different & a good option for those living in our typical catchment area of South King & Pierce Counties. Live elsewhere there are no boundary or school district restrictions to prevent you from playing for our club.
Culture: Our club is extremely proud of our tight-knit, family atmosphere and culture, which is developed partially by all of our teams practicing at a single location on the same nights of the week.
Additionally, our welcoming and inclusive attitude reflects the club’s commitment to Inclusion and Diversity. At our club we committed to providing a safe and respectful environment to all of our players and volunteer staff. We have a diverse organization, and we value each member’s uniqueness. Equally important is to welcome any girl or boy who wishes to participate regardless of their family’s ability to pay the designated player membership fees.
We are one of the few clubs in the region that offers the opportunity for girls and boys to start playing when in 1st grade and remain with the club until they graduate from High School. Large families with siblings of various ages and genders commonly take advantage of our sibling discount program and can effectively manage their kids schedules while playing for the same club.
There are no tryouts or cuts associated with our teams and we encourage you to review the website content and in particular the information included in the Potential/ New player tab which is intended to broaden your understanding of how our club operates and how easily you can get your son or daughter involved.
Coaching: Our coaching staff is the heartbeat of the club, and are all unpaid volunteers who we are proud to share their various experience in playing rugby and the unique traditions and expectations of being a rugby player, and also caring for their players as individuals. Our staff features a large mix of experience and much like all of the players they are constantly developing their skills and techniques.
Equally critical are our parent volunteers who fulfill a variety of roles to assist each season to integrate and help new and returning players and parents to insure that they have a fulfilling and worthwhile experience.
