Hey guys,

Looks like we’ve got enough for the first Wednesday rugby of the year.  Remember, we play at the corner of 15th and Constitution.  We’ll start at 6:00.  I don’t have the cones so you’ll have your bags and/or Andy’s/Kira’s cones if they can bring those.  And obviously, someone be sure to bring a ball! 

Probably.  Why else would you go through the trouble of reading this email if the prospect of mid-week rugby didn’t pique your interest?  I’ll be brief:  Last year, Wednesday rugby was transcendent. I expect nothing less this year.  Still, we can’t move forward without any players so if you’re into playing tomorrow, let me know.  It would be at 6:00 PM at the corner of 15th and Constitution.

I’ll see everyone tomorrow at 9:30. Whoever has the cones, don’t forget ’em. Or a ball!

You all know the drill.  Let me know. 

To reiterate:  We are on, and someone please bring the cones (and a ball!)

Remember, we’re starting at 9:30 AM now so either get to bed a little earlier or just power through that hangover. 

Hey Guys,

The clinic in Alexandria looks like it’s going to be a good showing.  However, for those of us not heading out to VA I think it would be great to play rugby this weekend given the awesome weather upon us.  It’s supposed to be kind of a perfect day on Saturday–a little cloudy and approaching 70 degrees.  Not too shabby.  If we get numbers, let’s play at 9:30 (our compromise time) at our usual spot.    Let me know if you’re in. 

Hey everyone,

The Alexandria team is putting together a touch rugby clinic this weekend.  It’s a great opportunity to not only learn more about the game, but to meet the other ruggers in the DMV.  The event will host coaches and players from across the US, plus, there will be a BBQ!  See details below for more information:  

“The touch clinic will be held at the GW Middle School Grass Field #2 (1005 Mt Vernon Ave., Alexandria, VA 22301) on March 22nd & 23rd.

Clinic fee is $20 per person that will help pay for the coach’s fare, field and drinks.

Schedule:

Saturday (3/22)
845am – 1130am: Morning Session.
1130am – 1pm: Lunch
1pm – 4pm: Afternoon Session….

Sunday (3/23)
9am – 1pm.

Galaxy DCA will have a BBQ on Saturday night for everyone (details will be handed out at the field).

This will be a tremendous opportunity for anyone interested in playing to take advantage of it as we are trying to promote and grow the game. We have some great coaches flying in to share their knowledge of the game and to meet and greet everyone.

Email e.palamo@gmail.com to notify Galaxy DCA of your attendance, or if you have any questions”

okay guys, we’re on for 10:00 AM. Next week we’ll start playing at our compromise time of 9:30. 

Just because it’s 2 degrees outside now, doesn’t mean it’s going to be 2 degrees on Saturday.  It’s kind of going to be ideal out actually, so no excuses.

Who’s in?
