Rugby Happenings Week of March 9th

I hope to have communications like this for each week of the season. The number have been excellent and Deanna, Sean and myself are looking forward to what could be a great season.

There are T-shirts available in Large and X-Large for purchase right now for $14. If you would like to order a different size there will be a sign up sheet at practice on Thursday March 12th. Money is due at the time of the order.

The socks and shorts have been ordered and hopefully will be in before the Jamboree. If they do not make it, I am asking for the veterans to bring any extra rugby shorts they have for the Jamboree to share with teammates. Also I would recommend players have a pair of spandex shorts (or softball silders) to wear under the shorts.

I will start updating this website today http://bhsgirlsrugby.blogspot.com/. Besides email we will try to communicate any news, info, etc. here.

Thursday March 12th – We will be practicing from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Please check the weather and dress accordingly. I think the temperature is going to be dropping over the next couple of days.

Saturday March 14th – Indiana Jamboree. At the Jamboree we will be participating in two controlled scrimmages. The coaches will be out on the field with the teams. This is a great way for new players and parents to be introduced to the game. This is a fun event and a great way to kick off the season. The Jamboree will be held this year at the Colts practice facility on 56th Street across from Eagle Creek Park (7001 West 56th Street - Indianapolis , IN 46254). We will be meeting at NOON at Williams Park (where we practice) to caravan to the Colts complex. Just as a reminder players are NOT allowed to drive themselves to the game. Also please be prepared to play both inside and outside. For those on the sidelines, I would suggest layers in case it is cold.

There will be a concession stand at the complex. Minus the field, we will not be allowed to go into the complex and porta potties will be available outside. T-shirts will be sold at the event for $12 each.

We will be watching a couple of the scrimmages before ours, then we will go into warm ups and will be playing at 2:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

The schedule is as follows
Indoor Field Outdoor Field
12:00 Carmel vs. Orchard Park
