Baseline Concussion Testing

This year the club is doing something new and is having all players complete a baseline concussion test with the high school athletic trainer. With the seriousness of head injuries it is important for the coaching and training staff to have this information.

The test is free and will be given after school on Monday March 8th. The players will need to report to the Brownsburg High School Media Computer Center right after school. The head athletic trainer has reserved the space to complete the test. The test should take about 30 minutes to complete.

If a player has completed the test within the current school year they will not need to take the test again.

There are a couple of you who go to other schools and I have asked the athletic trainer to contact you directly about the testing. Also I know there may be some conflicts with other school-related activities but if possible please try to be there for the testing.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Rugby Happenings Week of March 1, 2010

Here is what is on tap for this week.

Practice: Monday March 1, Wednesday March 3, and Thursday March 4., Williams Park. Mouth guards are now MANDATORY from here to the end of the season. Players without mouth guards will not be able to participate in any drills.

Scrimmage: This is something that we have just added and is not currently on the schedule. On Sunday March 7th at 3 p.m. we will scrimmage Carmel and Noblesville in jamboree type matches. The coaches will be allowed to be on the field during the scrimmages. Since we were unable to participate in the jamboree this is a great introduction to the game in a friendly environment. It is also a great way for parents to be introduced to the game. We will need to meet at the parking lot of Williams park at 1 p.m. to caravan to Noblesville. Directions are available on www.brownsburgrugby.org. As a reminder players are not allowed to drive to away games.

Nash Bash: I have sent out and posted hotel details and other trip information. I do not yet have a full itinerary but will send one out including the address of the fields as soon as I have all information. The cost for the players is $40 and will cover their bus ride, hotel room, dinner on Friday, breakfast and lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. Players will need money for dinner on Saturday night and for any other incidentals (there will be t-shirts and other rugby related items for purchase). Don Stumpp will be contacting parents in regards to any other items we will need for the weekend (water, gatorade, snacks etc). Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. And also let me know if you are planning on coming down to Nashville. Just as a reminder we will be leaving on Friday March 12 and returning on Sunday March 14. There will be assigned supervision for players during the trip and the team must at all times adhere to the code of conduct that has been signed by coaches, parents and players. This will be our first opportunity to travel for the girls team and I hope it is just the first of many to come. We have the opportunity to play teams from other parts of the country which will only help us get better.

Rugby Indiana: There are still several who need to register with www.rugbyindiana.com. This is a requirement and must be completed by March 11th for participation in Nash Bash. If you have already registered then you are all set.

Rugby 101: For those new to rugby there are some great videos on You Tube.  There are several "rugby 101" type videos that help introduce the game in a way that is helpful. 

Reminder for Rugby Indiana Registration

The early registration for Rugby Indiana ends on Feb. 27th. After the 27th the cost increases by $10. You must be registered to participate this season.

Nash Bash Trip Clarification

Just a quick clarification. 

There will be a charter bus for the girls to ride to and from Nashville. The girls will be assigned to rooms which have been reserved by the club. The rooms that are being held are for parents/family to reserve. There will be a small cost associated with the trip to help offset club costs for the weekend. Meals during the trip are included for the girls (dinner Friday, lunch, breakfast, dinner Saturday and Sunday). I do not yet have the total for the trip.
