Flag Rugby Registration Information - Kindergarten through 2nd Grade

The Spring 2026 season will run from Wednesday, April 8th to, most likely, Sunday, June 27, 2026 (season final game still TBD) for the K-2 team.  The Spring 2026 season for this team will be instructional with games beginning in May once players have learned the game basics.

Practice times for the K-2s are from 5:45pm to 7pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Most games happen on Sunday mornings though there can be exceptions to this.


K2 parents:  Please be aware that games every weekend against other rugby clubs in the area may or may not be possible for the K-2 teams.  This is largely dependent upon whether other rugby clubs in the area are able to field K-2 teams in 2026.  However, we try as much as possible to schedule these and try to have intra-squad scrimmages to get the K-2s game time if we cannot play another club on a particular weekend.  Please be aware that our focus at this age level is more about learning the basics and less about competition.


Under 6 Years of Age Requests:  While we want your children to start playing rugby as early as possible, we find that typically kids under the age of 6 are not ready for the length of the practice and do not yet have the physical skills necessary.  We may make a case by case exception, but we ask that you, as the parent who knows your child best, evaluate first whether they can truly handle this and still have fun.  We know you are eager to get them playing, but there are plenty of rugby years ahead if your child enjoys rugby.  If your child does not enjoy rugby, your child may end up with bad rugby associations and not want to play rugby in the future!  No one wants that!

Registration Tasks

Please complete the 4 tasks below to be fully registered with the Wolfhounds:

  • Wolfhounds registration
  • Uniform Form
  • MYRO/USA Rugby registration
  • Age verification


Directions for each task are below.  Please read these directions first as most registration questions should be answered below.

1) Wolfhounds Registration

 First, the registration form for the Wolfhounds must be completed in TeamSnap, our registration system:   https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/507675.  A confirmation email will be sent to you after registering.  

2) Uniform Form

Next, fill out the Uniform Form: 

https://forms.gle/DxSrgoPjmfFMfmij6


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.

3) MYRO and USA Rugby Registration

3) MYRO and USA Rugby Registration

 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.

4) USA Rugby Age Verification

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 .

Thank you for completing these tasks!

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