Congratulations to all the rookies who have made it through their first few practices and their first GAME! Those New Paltz ruggers had much more experience and *cough* upstate-burliness — we fought a valiant match. For our first game after two practices, every player really pulled through.
Even MORE rookies came out to last night’s practice, which is fantastic! If you’re reading this and are thinking, well… I have no experience… THAT’S OK! Come to a practice and find out what rugby is like for yourself. As usual, our practice schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Thursday: meet at the sundial at 7:30pm.
Start getting pumped for our next game on Sunday vs. Rutgers!
Hey ruggers!
So we are getting the season started with some casual touch rugby out on the Columbia South Lawns this Tuesday, September 8th, (EDIT!!) at 6PM. Meet at the Columbia sundial (the big round thing between the steps and Butler Library, on College Walk) at 6PM if you’re interested. Come out to get to know a little bit more about rugby and meet some of our friendly players. You can join in and try it out or just watch and learn!
Once you’ve gotten a feel for the game, come out to our first official practice this Wednesday, September 9th. Meet us at the Columbia sundial (see above) at 7:45PM to get ready to go up to Baker Field for an 8:30-10:30PM practice. Remember, you don’t need any experience to play, we’ll walk you through everything!
Things you’ll need for Wednesday:
Sneakers, or cleats if you have them
Athletic/sports clothes (shorts, t-shirt)
Water
Mouthguard (if you have one)
Metrocard
One last thing: our regular season practice days and times are Mondays and Wednesdays, 8:30-10:30PM.
See you on Tuesday! – CUWRFC
