🏉 Happy pride month from us at NOVA WRC 🏳️‍🌈
One of the things we love most about rugby is that some of our best moments happen when we are lifting someone else up. In a line out, nobody gets up there alone. It takes trust. It takes support. It takes teammates willing to help you rise. When everyone does their part, we reach heights that we can’t reach on our own. Community works the same way.
We’re proud to be a club where people can show up as their full selves. Rugby has given so many of us lifelong friends, confidence, belonging, and a place to call home.
Pride is exactly about celebrating that. It’s a beautiful thing to create space where people don’t have to hide pieces of themselves to participate. It’s about finding your people, supporting one another, and building a community where everyone has a place. 💜🌈

🌈💜 March with NOVA WRFC this weekend 💜🌈

We are proud to celebrate Pride Month and the LGBTQ+ players, coaches, supporters, friends, and family members who help make our club stronger every day. Rugby is built on community, respect, and belonging, and we’re excited to take those values to the streets of DC at the 2026 Capital Pride Parade.

Join us on Saturday, June 20 in support of visibility, inclusion, and the continued work of creating spaces where everyone feels welcome—both in rugby and beyond.

Whether you’re a current player, alum, supporter, family member, or friend of the club, we’d love to have you alongside us. Help us turn Capital Pride into a sea of Piranhas 🌈

We have room for up to 100 marchers, so be sure to reserve your spot soon!

A little late, but better late than never. 😅🏉

Our Piranhas are on the road and headed to Wilmington, Delaware for the MAC Red, White & Blue Ball 7s Tournament — the first Mid-Atlantic Conference qualifying event of the summer!

Both NOVA sides will be in action as they begin their chase toward the MAC 7s Championship.

Good luck to everyone representing NOVA purple today. Play hard, support your teammates, and leave it all on the field.

Drop some 💜 in the comments to wish our squads luck!

Grab a sweet treat, meet some teammates, and come hang out! We would love to see you!
