A Kindred Club is a community bound not by geography, but by shared experience, values, and identity.
Unlike a traditional rugby or sports club that fields teams and competes weekly, a kindred club exists to connect people who have walked a similar path, whether as former players, staff, supporters, or whānau of a particular team, institution, or region.
It is a place for:
Connection
Rekindling bonds with teammates, colleagues, and comrades from across eras.
Celebration
Honouring shared achievements, milestones, and the legacy of the jersey.
Contribution
Giving back through mentoring, fundraising, or supporting the next generation.
A kindred club acts as a spiritual home for those who have worn the colours or shared the cause. It strengthens identity, tells the stories that matter, and ensures that no one who was part of the journey is ever left behind.
