Who we are

About West Michigan Rugby Association

The West Michigan Rugby Association (WMRA) is a nonprofit organization committed to growing and uniting the sport of rugby throughout West Michigan. We serve as a central hub for collaboration, development, and opportunity—connecting players, coaches, clubs, schools, and supporters under one shared vision: to make rugby accessible, inclusive, and impactful for all.

Our mission goes beyond the game. We believe rugby is a powerful tool for character-building, leadership development, and community connection. That’s why we invest in youth programs, coaching education, facilities, and outreach initiatives that lower barriers and expand access to the sport across urban, suburban, and rural communities.

We champion a new era of philanthropy—one where innovative strategies and grassroots support come together to redefine what’s possible for rugby in our region. Whether you're a player, parent, coach, alumni, or fan, WMRA invites you to be part of something bigger: a lifelong movement to grow the game and change lives through it.

Join us as we build the future of rugby in West Michigan—one player, one team, and one community at a time.
