Zach and I met with the Principal Crowley last week and the meeting -- for the most part -- was very postive. While Mr. Crowley was extremely supportive of our efforts, he said he could not grant the rugby team official club status. So, we cannot not have any direct affilation with the school.
No matter. We can still forge ahead with a rugby club. All we need are players and a coach. I have called the Greenville Recreation District and am working to secure some practices fields -- possibly at Pittman or East Riverside parks. In the coming week, I will arrange a meeting for prospective students and parents and announce this meeting time on this blog and the Riverside Rugby facebook page.
We will probably have a few practices next month. I have the week between Christmas and New Years off. During this time, we'll likey have practices each day during the a week. It will be an intense but fun learning experience. There is a rugby jamboree in Columbia in late January. After that, we forge ahead with the season. We can play our home games in Furman's Rugby Stadium, but need to have practice close to home.
If anyone knows of a good meeting space, please advise...maybe a subivision club house, perhaps, or church?
