Boys and Girls Youth Rugby Program

Founded in 1989, Tacoma Tsunamis Rugby is a youth boys and girls rugby program that draws players from any school in the greater Tacoma-Puyallup-Lakewood area. We are members of the Tacoma Rugby Club, and play in the Rugby Washington league and USA Rugby. Our youth programs are a wonderful community of players, coaches, families, sponsors and friends who continue to make this such a positive youth program here in Tacoma.

Our contact rugby programs have also had a lot of success in recent years.
