As part of our mission to sponsor every rugby club on the planet, we’ve been signing up dozens of clubs across the USA for our unique sponsorship program. Today, we’re pleased to announce the addition of a new club, this time from the great state of Colorado which has become a hotbed for rugby in the West of the country.
The Fort Collins Flamingos rugby club was established way back in 1978 by a group of Colorado State graduates. Wondering where the ‘Flamingos’ got their name? Well you’ll have to keep wondering unfortunately as the original source of the name has been lost to the annals of history. This is what the club says though:
Don’t ask how we came up with the Flamingo as our mascot, except that the original membership included a warped, transplanted Californian with a strange sense of humor.
Good enough for us haha.
The current membership includes 30 or so active members (who put the boots on every Saturday) and another 40 social members (expect them at the party after the game). A large majority of the members are college graduates working in a broad spectrum of skilled professions.
As in most rugby clubs, athletic abilities range from ex-collegiate football and rugby players to any newcomer willing to learn the game from scratch. The key is the will to train hard and a love of team sports. Most of the NoCo Flamingos’ members are in their late 20s but ages vary from 18-45.
As a truly international sport, rugby brings together many diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Our club is enriched by a number of international players from England, Scotland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. In the community, they proudly sponsor and provide coaches to the Fort Collins Youth Rugby program.
Fort Collins finished first in the state 1994-1996 and 4th, 5th, and 6th in the nation respectively. The bottom line is that through the competition and camaraderie of their club, rugby has become more than just a game, rugby is a way of life!
The Flamingos are also heavily involved in community organizing, they regularly fundraise for causes as diverse as breast cancer research to supporting the family members of a past rugger.
