The Spring 2026 season will run from Wednesday, April 8th to most likely, Sunday, June 21, 2026 (season final game still TBD) for the 7th/8th Grade Girls team and the 7th/8th Grade Boys team.
The Spring 2026 season for these teams will be instructional with games beginning in May once players have learned the game basics and more advanced skills. Players on these teams no longer play flag rugby and instead begin full contact rugby.
Please complete the 4 tasks below to be fully registered with the Wolfhounds:
Directions for each task are below. Please read these directions first as most registration questions should be answered below.

First, the registration form for the Wolfhounds must be completed in TeamSnap, our registration system.
BOYS REGISTRATION FORM: https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/507673
GIRLS REGISTRATION FORM:
https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/507672
A confirmation email will be sent to you after registering.

Next, fill out the Uniform Form:
https://forms.gle/SZ78NBQAE3xtRsnN7
A confirmation email will be sent to you after submitting the form. There may be difficulty obtaining your child's uniform in a timely manner if you register or submit this form after March 18 as there is a 6-8 week production lead time. Please do not fill out the uniform form unless you have completed the Wolfhounds registration form. Submissions without a matching Wolfhound registration will be ignored.

Third, register with both the Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization and USA Rugby for 2026 via the Rugby Xplorer application. Step by step directions for this registration can be found just below in the Downloads area on this page. Please also review the MYRO Code of Conduct in the Downloads area.
Fourth, USA Rugby has begun requiring age verification for all players. This is a one-time process, so if you completed the age verification in a prior year, you do NOT need to redo this step. After you complete it for this year, you will NOT need to do so again next year.
To complete the age verification, after you have completed registration in Rugby Xplorer, you will soon thereafter (not immediately) receive an email titled "USA Youth and High School Rugby Document Upload & Verification Mail" from USA Youth and High School Rugby. The email will have instructions on how to take care of the age verification process which just entails uploading a birth certificate or any other form of government ID. (Ignore the fact that the text on the page tells you to upload 2 documents - it is a mistake - they just want 1.) The email will look like the Verification Email image to the right and will come from info@yhsverification.rugby.
Click on the button in the email, and the system will prompt you to upload the document. The system does not indicate on the screen that you have been successful, but you should receive a confirmation email once USA Rugby has verified the age - this will not come immediately; it will arrive a few days later. The confirmation email will be titled "USA Youth and High School Rugby Document Approval Mail" and look like the Verification Confirmation Email image to the right and come from info@yhsverification.rugby. Retain this email for the season.
More information about this process can be found at https://www.usayhs.rugby/age-verification .

We look forward to seeing you at the Irish Cultural Center when the season begins!
