Wave Pool

The Wave Pool or Supporter Section’s purpose is to be

your worst nightmare and our secret weapon. It is the

engine, the driving force behind the Rapids every day,

and the heart of game-day. Here, we support and

promote all things Columbus Rapids.

The Wave Pool is the heartbeat of the arena, where the

Rapids is brought to life by its most passionate fans.

Together, we strive to create the loudest, most creative,

most passionate and stunning, gritty yet flashy sporting

experience in Arena Soccer.

MISSION

The mission of the Wave Pool is to support the great

game of soccer in and around the South. The Wave Pool

exists as a means to coordinate all the things that our

supporters do. We promote playing the game we love

and facilitate supporters culture through creating tifo displays, working with the club management in resolving issues,

and arranging travel to away matches.

THE BOARD

The Wave Pool Board consists of the leaders of each officially recognized supporters club with the elected

officers serving as directors. Board meetings are held monthly with the Club Liaison and quarterly with the

Club’s Executive Team.

BASIC STRUCTURE

All official Columbus Rapids supporter clubs strive to uphold the NISL Fan Code of Conduct among our

members. Singing, chanting, community involvement, and the biggest baddest visual in-game presence are

at the core of our being. Our standards are what keep the Wave Pool flowing - check them out below.

ROWDIES

Rowdies are an Columbus Rapids Supporter’s Group who focuses primarily on creating a rowdy and

passionate in-match, Wave Pool experience. Rowdies members pride themselves on "earning their scarf"

by standing and chanting the full 90, making our presence known. We prioritize tifo design and execution

over tailgating, and proudly send capos and drummers to each match. Our heavy DIY approach motivates

members to sing original songs and wave hand-made flags. Driven by pride of club and city, Rowdies

will be heard long after the match ends!
