Castricumse Rugby club

What Castricumse Rugby club does

Castricumse Rugby Club, doing business as Cas RC, is a member-owned rugby sports association founded in 1967 and headquartered at Sportpark Wouterland in Castricum, Netherlands. The club fields two senior teams that compete in the Ereklasse, the top tier of Dutch club rugby, for both men (Cas RC 1) and women (Cas Ladies), and operates a youth section with age-graded teams starting at age 3 (Mini's) through Benjamins and older junior age groups. Cas RC presents itself as a family-oriented club combining elite-level competition with a strong social community, and its site lists 19+ commercial sponsors including Canterbury as club sponsor alongside Arega Health BV, Eleiko, Kris Kross Amsterdam, Tree 11, and various local businesses.

The club has no proprietary technology stack; its offering is built around physical access to clubhouse, fields, fitness facilities, and a sauna, supported by on-site physiotherapy from partner Reva Centre Fysiotherapie. Recent product extensions include Cas RC High Performance Camps delivered with international partners Mana and Stade Toulousain, alongside on-site operations such as an oliebollenactie (year-end donut sale), the Grote Clubactie lottery, a Canterbury-branded club shop, and youth-led community fundraising.

Cas RC is a not-for-profit-style private member organization governed by a volunteer board led by chairman Karsten Pronk (effective until October 1), with board members Barry Pieters, Maik Schermer, and member of merit Graham Shepley. The club monetizes primarily through annual membership fees, recurring sponsorship agreements, club shop sales, and community fundraising, with rugby operations overseen by head coach and Rugby Coordinator Bart Wierenga Jr. The club has produced professional players including Fabian Holland (New Zealand All Blacks) and Niek Doornenbal (Stade Toulousain, ASM Clermont Auvergne), and its junior team won the 2024-2025 Bowl championship undefeated.
