Now gearing up for the 2026 season, Rhino League volleyball sign-ups are officially open for another summer of friendly competition, cross-department camaraderie, and plenty of memorable moments on the field.
Rhino League brings together players from across Harvard, with teams often representing not only MCB but also neighboring departments like SEAS and OEB. While organized within the MCB community, participation is open to anyone with an active Harvard ID—making it one of the most inclusive and lively summer traditions on campus.
Streaming will once again be part of the Rhino League experience, with select games broadcast live so that friends, labmates, and fans can follow along. Games will be streamed on Twitch: https://m.twitch.tv/harvardrhinocup/
Looking ahead, planning is already underway for leadership transition after this season as current commissioner Marc Duque Ramirez is stepping down. “There are guides for training a new commissioner from past years, and I would update those,” says Duque Ramirez. “It wouldn’t take too long to train somebody.” But if no one volunteers, the old rule of someone from the winning team becoming commissioner will stand. In that case, they are responsible for organizing after Duque Ramirez transfers website ownership, Google Forms, etc.
