Rugby may be a seasonal sport, but for the Seattle Seawolves, community engagement is year-round, and nowhere is that more evident than right here in Tukwila.
When the final whistle blows on the Major League Rugby season, the Seawolves don’t head for the sidelines. They double down on what makes them more than just a professional team: connection, character, and community. In the offseason, players and staff stay active through training, outreach, and local programs—many of which take place just blocks from their home field.
The Tukwila Community Center plays a central role in the Seawolves’ offseason. It’s more than just a place to stay fit—it’s where the team stays rooted. From holding youth camps to participating in community events, the team’s presence is a familiar and welcome one.
“Immersing ourselves in the community and supporting those who have supported us,” is how the team describes their offseason focus. That includes everything from school visits and youth clinics to appearances by players and mascot Rucky at neighborhood events.
Throughout the offseason the Seawolves host youth rugby skills camps. These are open to beginners and seasoned players alike, with age-based sessions that emphasize the values rugby is built on—respect, teamwork, and camaraderie.
The Seawolves’ bigger goal? Put a rugby ball in the hands of 20,000 kids before the U.S. hosts the Rugby World Cup. That means more camps, more school visits, and more partnerships with local organizations and community groups in Tukwila and beyond.

Even when they’re off duty, the Seawolves stay local. Favorite hangouts include Billy Baroo’s, Foster Golf Links, Bowlero, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Moctezuma’s Mexican Restaurant—all right here in Tukwila.
