Practice
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm-9pm.
Standard Practice
Arrive 15 minutes early to make sure you are ready to warm up at 7pm sharp.
Captains will run the team through a dynamic warmup. Coaches will then run the team through drills that cover a wide range of rugby skills like ball handling, tackling and rucking, scrums, set plays, dynamic play, and lineouts. We usually end practices with scrimmage play or touch to enforce what we've learned and strengthen our ability to work together in game situations.
We practice in a variety of conditions, including rain and a range of temperatures. If practice is cancelled an email will go out in advance letting players know.
It is critical as a player that you make practices whenever possible. Coaches take attendance and it is factored into playing time. Also, practice will simply make you a better player, and that's what it's all about.
Gear
Dress appropriately (layers) and bring a bright and dark shirt to each practice for scrimmages. Rugby shorts, a mouthguard, and boots (cleats) are necessary to participate in practice. For Rookies please work with your captains and they will help you get equipped.
