Thankfully, practices were moved to East Riverside Park. This park is located near Riverside High School and next to Riverside Baptist Church. We are using the field behind the softball fields. Practices are held, 5:15-6:45 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. We welcome new players! The club is actively recruiting.
Parents, I should have an email list ready by next week. The contact forms that I sent home with players are slowing trickling in. Players, I must have your USA Rugby Participation forms Thursday. We will play three short halves this Sunday at Furman (against Greenville White, Greenville Red and Easley). These games will be tightly controlled. We will have the uniforms there. Players should wear some sort of under garment so that they can slip their shorts over them. The jerseys are light-weight, so be sure wear a tight-fitting undershirt when playing and bring a jacket. You must have a mouthguard to play!
The full schedule, once it is available, will be posted here.
Furman will host a Southern Conference Round-Robin affair this Saturday with teams from Appalachian State, the College of Charleston, Furman and The Citadel participating. The game time will be posted, too, at the link above when they are available. It would be a good idea for parents and players to attend some of these games to see a live rugby contest.
Cambria Sports, a rugby supply company from Charleston, will have a tent set up at the field Saturday. You can pick up shorts, socks, boots, balls, etc. at this tent. If you need something specific, contact Rob Jones at cambriasports@gmail.com . He can bring it up. Also, view http://www.cambriasports.com/ to see his stock. Trainers from St. Francis will be there Sunday to help with the kids. If players need an ankle taped, please bring your own supplies. The medics can help if they have time.
We had very productive practice last night. Some 14 kids were there! We are growing a bit each week.
