Okay, here are the tournament details. Read this through all the way, please.
The tourney location is Hooes Road Park, 7233 Hooes Road, Springfield VA. Directions are attached in the notification email.
Bring chairs, shade, water and sunscreen. We will have the big NFL cooler on hand for the club to use, and will stock it with drinks.
The match schedule was attached in the notificatin email. First games kick off at 9:00am each day, and play will conclude by 4:30. The tournament WILL stay on time.
All players check your boots to make sure you do not have a single toe stud at the front of your boots. Molded, or screw-in, this stud must come off/out. If you have screw-in studs, make sure the rest of the studs are serviceable (no metal showing).
No regular eyeglasses in touch play; only sports goggles are allowed. No eyewear permitted in tackle.
EMTs will be present both days. Bring your own tape and supplies if you want to get taped.
Concessions and t-shirts: SYC will be selling hot dogs, drinks, etc. There will be a limited quantity of Rugby VA t-shirts available, as well as lots of SYC Rugby merch. Possibly also some rugby merch from Balls Out, though they won't have a separate booth.
Touch rugby laws... Remember that touch rugby is touch rugby. No dangerous play tolerated.
All coaches, parents and players must conduct themselves with sportsmanship and civility. We're all competitive people, but let's keep things in perspective that ultimately this is just a game, and we need to set a good example for the kids.
For Sunday tackle play, all interested players need to be at the site by 8:30 to get onto a team. I will be there to help out.
Players have to be on time, as games will start spot on time, and teams not on the field or with insufficient players will forfeit.
PLayers may play up a division, so if you are U-11, you can play in the U-13 matches. If you are U-13, you can be used in the U-15 matches. This may mean showing up earlier than your division's scheduled matches.
U-11
First match is at 9:30 on Field 4, so showtime is 9:00.
The next match will be at 11:00 on Field 4.
U-11 will have at least one more match, depending on its performance in the first two.
U-13
First match is at 9:00 on Field 3, so showtime is no later than 8:30.
Next match is at 10:30 on Field 3.
There are only four teams in U-13, so a third game is guaranteed, and it will be at 2:20, on either Field 2 or Field 4.
Depending on our performance/If we win, the U-13 final will be at 3:40 on Field 3.
U-15
There are only 2 teams entered, so it is us against the same team--Baileys--all day long.
First game is at 10:00 on Field 3; showtime for players is 9:30.
Next game is at 11:30, and the U-15 final is at 3:00.
We have a very good chance of winning this division, and there is hardware for champions, so players need to stay all day.
See you at practice this evening.

A small story really
For many years, lived in India a man who is considered the happiest man in the world. Many kings, jealous, he offered power and money, and tried to steal to get their secret, but all was in vain. The more you tried, most were unhappy, not envy those left living.
So the years passed and the sage was happier each day. One day a child came to him and told him: "Sir, as you also want to be immensely happy. Why do not you teach me ... How do I get? The scientist, seeing the simplicity and purity of children, he said: "To you I will show you the secret to being happy. Come with me and pay attention. In reality are two chests where I keep the secret to being happy and these are : My mind and heart. The great secret is none other than a series of steps you need to take along the life:
