Practices
Practices are every Tuesday and Thursday (4:30-6:30pm), beginning September 12th.
Practices will be held at Epple Field (2001 Providence Rd.). It’s about a three-minute drive from campus and there is a bus that picks up at various stops around campus and will drop off next to Epple in the Reactor parking lot.
Please arrive at least five minutes before our scheduled practice time so we can put on cleats and get any equipment ready we may need for that day. Make sure to bring water, cleats* (without front toe cleat, ex. soccer cleats), and an EXCITEMENT to learn.
*if you do not have cleats already, do not worry about it. Come give rugby a try and if you decide to play in a game we can work on getting all the needed equipment by then!
