Ian “The-Ref” Reinert is great at bringing new people into the game. His patience in explaining the rules & giving demonstrations to newcomers really helps get them involved.
This is such an important part of DC Touch as we’re open to people of all abilities – everyone is welcome & should feel included.
Under Ian’s wing I’m sure the group will continue to grow and bring together rugby enthusiasts & novices from around the world who now call DC home.

Nick “Back-Yo’self” Purvis’ British accent and youthful enthusiasm has been an instant hit at DC Touch.
Hype man Nick always brings the party so it was a no-brainer that he take over organizing the social side of things.
We posed the question; would he rather become DC Touch Social Secretary or get punched in the face by Mike Tyson? You can guess which one he chose. (sorry, in-joke)
Nick has lots of fun ideas already so I know you’re in great hands.

And one more for good measure:
Ryan “Never-Too-Late-To-Learn-How-To-Skateboard” Kelley, aka mustache #2, never fails to leave us in his dust….. or take his shirt off.
He’s just so damn fast, and so damn cool, we had to have him on our board!
A regular at DC Touch for at least a year, Ryan will be the one to blame for all smooth balls & crooked sidelines going forward.
Good luck Ryan!

Mustache #1 belongs to our main man, Josh “No-T-shirt-Survives-The-Scissors” Kube.
Josh joined about a year ago and quickly became a fan favorite. If I was handing out awards for most improved, he’d be the winner, however instead I just decided to hand him the reins of DC Touch.
Josh is the boss – his word is the law. I have no doubt that his leadership will be just what DC Touch needs to get you guys back in business once this whole pandemic thing plays out.
You got this Josh!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that both Cody & I will be leaving DC soon and are passing on the DC Touch baton. I will be heading home to my native Ireland, & Cody on his adventures to Central Asia.
The last >2.5 years of organizing things (and +1 more of just playing) have been the best part of my DC experience. I’ve met the most amazing people and I’ll miss you guys (& touch) so much!
I’ll be announcing the new board members shortly. These fabulous guys are stepping up to the plate & deserve individual shout outs, stay tuned!
Lots of love (& tears),
Georgia
Hi everyone,

I have ordered the following:
They came to $17.50 each. I will be making Venmo requests (etc.) very soon & contact you to make arrangements on how to get your shirts once they arrive. The ETA is ~2-3 weeks.

Hi crew!
There have been many requests in the past year for a new DC Touch Rugby shirt order.
Well you’re in luck!
Fill in this form by Wednesday 29th July if you want a shirt: click me!
Please consider the form your commitment to buying a shirt – it is not a ‘general interest’ survey. I will include all shirts requested in my order and pay the whole cost up front out of pocket so I’ll rely on you paying me back afterwards. I say this because last time I was left with someone saying they didn’t want theirs long after I’d already paid for them & had to take the loss myself.
Last time they were approximately $17 each but the more we order the cheaper they will be so I’ll update you on the price when I have confirmed numbers. I also haven’t finalized a colour yet but there’s a poll within the link. Otherwise the design will be the same as the previous order, as seen modeled by Mr. January and some random redhead chick below.
Whether you’re adding to your collection or are a first time buyer – order your DC Touch Rugby shirt today!!!
(and there was much rejoicing)

Hey team! It’s been a long time since you’ve heard from us so we wanted to get out a quick message to the whole DC Touch Rugby group.
First, I hope you all know we miss playing touch rugby and seeing you all like crazy! I can’t wait for the day when we can all be back to playing like before. Unfortunately, for now that may be a little while yet. Please know that the DC Touch Rugby leadership has been working behind the scenes to get us back to playing and we are currently working on the DC Touch Rugby Revival Plan! This will include phased reopening when appropriate and new safety measures and guidelines for playing.
Stayed tuned for further announcements in the coming weeks and until we all meet again, I hope you are staying safe and healthy.

Hi peops,
Continuing with touch as usual. We’re on for 9:30 am by the WWII memorial.
Please be considerate of others and don’t come if you are sick or think you have been in contact with anyone who is.
