Calling all Chuckanut Bay Rugby players, parents, alumni, and supporters!
As the days get shorter, it’s time to start looking ahead to brighter, muddy Saturdays on the pitch. The 2027 Spring Season is right around the corner, and we are kicking things off in true Chuckanut fashion—with community, ambition, and a whole lot of great food.
Save the Date: Kickoff Brunch
- When: Saturday, November 21st
- Why: Season prep, SportsPlus onboarding, recruiting materials, and a delicious warm breakfast!
Our very own Joel Weisser will be taking over the kitchen to whip up a legendary spread featuring scratch-made biscuits and gravy, breakfast tacos, hot coffee, and more. Whether you've been with the club for a decade or are curious about playing for the very first time, there is a plate at the table for you.
What We’re Tackling Together at the Brunch
1. Spring Season Registration & Q&A
Our Spring Season runs for approximately 12 weeks. Practices begin in February, with our first matches kicking off in March and running through May. We’ll have team representatives on hand to help you get registered on the spot and answer any questions about schedules, dues, or gear.
2. SportsPlus App Setup & Help
We use the SportsPlus app to handle all club communications, practice schedules, game updates, and team rosters. If you’re new to the app or need help setting up your profile, bring your phone! We’ll make sure every family leaves connected and ready to go.
3. Launching Our County-Wide Recruitment Drive
Recruit, recruit, recruit! That is our goal for the 2027 season, and we need the entire Chuckanut family to help us spread the word across Whatcom County.
Here’s a breakdown of the programs we are pushing to grow this spring:
- Expanded Flag Rugby (Ages 5–10): We are ambitiously expanding our non-contact flag rugby program to 6 distinct locations across Whatcom County. Our goal is simple: let local kids learn the sport and play matches right here at home instead of having to travel south to Seattle on weekends!
- U12 Intro to Contact: Building confidence, safety, and foundational skills as young players transition into tackle rugby.
- U14 Boys & Girls: Developing team play, fitness, and core rugby values.
- U15 Girls & High School Girls: Championing the growth of fast-paced, high-energy girls' rugby across the region.
- High School Boys: Continuing our tradition of competitive, high-level high school rugby.
- Adult Men’s & Women’s+ Teams: Keeping the spirit alive for our senior players as they gear up for their own spring league campaigns.
Grab Your Recruitment Kit!
Growing this sport starts in our own neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. At the brunch, every family will be able to pick up yard signs, business cards, flyers, and simple recruiting tips to help spread the word.
Whether you put a sign in your front lawn, take cards to your local school, or hand a flyer to a teammate from another sport, your help makes all the difference in expanding access to rugby for kids and adults across the county.
Come hungry, bring your questions, and let’s get ready to make 2027 our biggest season yet. See you on November 21st!
