“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”

~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

Growth

These values and mission contribute the growth our Club has had over the years to become one of the largest clubs in our region: Chinook Club History

Mission

Provide opportunities for student athletes to experience the game of rugby in Southwest Washington. We believe rugby builds character as we teach our “Values” to build self-confidence and leadership in our youth on and off the pitch. Support the development of boys and girls to advance onto regional, state, and national teams as they continue on beyond our youth program into college, Adult, National and Olympic leagues.

Respect

We teach Respect as the most fundamental principle in both the game of Rugby and in life. Athletes, Coaches, and Parents are expected to Respect one another and be respectful to one another always. 

Rugby shows this principle on game day as well in how we treat the Match Official from the field and the sidelines.

Respect, we believe, helps our athletes excel in both sport and life. 

Encourage

In showing Respect, we can actively encourage one another. We are all expected to be encouraging in our words and actions. Even correction has the purpose of encouraging our athletes to grow. 

On game day, we encourage good play for both teams offering congratulations even when it’s not our Try and supporting one another on and off the pitch.

Encouraging others helps us to better receive encouragement from others and ourselves. 

Empower

Empowerment is the natural progression of being respectful and encouraging one another. We empower our athletes to make active decisions on the field on game day because we have encouraged and taught them how to make the best choices available and how to overcome when we make mistakes.

Empowerment is about their success and showing respect and encouragement to others, win or lose, mistakes or successes. This is how leaders are made.
