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

I’m presenting TWO photos of the week this week, which are for Courtney and Alyssa – our fantastic lock and inside center who are currently recovering from or about to go through ACL surgery!!! We wish them full recovery and to get well soon, of course! Thanks Beth for the photos.

That’s right, I’m going to start doing a CUWRFC “Photo of the Week” during all my useless summertime.
Above, our great fullback Nicole Humphrey taking out a GWU player with a serious tackle, Spring 2009. You go girl.
This post is really late, but thanks to all the alumni who came out to Randall’s Island for a friendly 7’s match during the NY Women’s Friends and Family Day! It started a little cold and drizzly but turned out to be a beautiful and sunny day, great weather for rugby-watching!
