How to Join

We have made becoming a member extremely easy. Our dues cover only the essentials to ensure there is plenty of training, games, and fun! If you’re unsure, just come to a practice and try us out!

Membership

No person shall be denied membership due to color, creed, physical ability, race, religion, or sex. Membership is awarded to individuals who are active, dues paying members.

Dues

Dues help us pay for the cost of a season. Each season we must rent practice space and account for game day expenses: field rental, referee, training staff, and post match social. When determining this cost, we want to keep it as affordable as possible. Our goal is to be able to afford the above expenses with the cost of dues.

We tier our dues based on seniority.

Rookies, students (undergrad), and non-playing members dues are $50 per season. A “rookie” is a member who has not elapsed one calendar year since joining.

Veterans dues are $100 per season. a “veteran” is a member that has had one year or greater, calendar time, elapsed since joining.

We do not want cost to be a factor for anyone. Ask about our financial services.

USA rugby

USA Rugby is our governing body. They require a membership that acts like liability insurance. It keeps all players safe in the event of injury. This cost varies, but typically is around $80 per year, starting in August.
