Refer first to our website for all questions.

Another excellent practice last night, with super turnout.

Paperwork: players won't get their jersey until all required paperwork is turned in:
  • USA Rugby registration: this is the signed USA Rugby agreement/waiver, and your receipt with your CIPP number.
  • Fort Hunt Registration: we have that already, so you don't need to bring it.
  • Rugby VA waiver: we will have those at practice starting next week.
  • Commwealth Games waiver: we'll have these at practice starting next week.
Players: bring water. This is your responsibility.

Tackle players: we started the basics of contact last night, with the intro to tackling. This drill is going to be a standard contact warmup for all practices, until it becomes second nature. We'll move this forward next week with the introduction of rucking pads, tackling dummies, and starting player-on-player contact drills. We'll also start getting into the scrum, ruck and maul.

Equipment: remember, take off all jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, watches, earrings. This includes friendship strings, etc. Empty all pockets. This goes for tackle and touch players.

See you next Tuesday.
