Have you been wishing that you could get in a bit of touch rugby on a weekday morning? Do you think that one of the best ways to get in a bit of fitness and hardly realize you’re doing it is through a good bit of touch rugby?

Then you might be in luck. We are tentatively considering starting up some morning rugby. First we would like to check on interest level and see how many people would be willing to actually show up at 6:30 or 7:00 am and play for about an hour. Tuesdays and Fridays have been suggested but if anyone has a really good rationale for a different morning we are definitely interested in hearing it.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED: please comment on this post. From your comment we will compile a list of people who are interested in morning touch and use an email chain or a text group as the main means of communication. Also in your comment please indicate if you are up for one morning a week or two and which day/s you prefer.

If there is enough interest we are looking to start this Friday, April 29th.

It looks like the bulk of the rain is going to be overnight with lower chances tomorrow morning. And even if it is raining tomorrow morning, I don’t think we’re going to let a little warm rain stop us from playing!

If you know you can make it and have a ball, can you please respond to this post so we know for sure that we will have one there?

Also, whoever has the cones please bring them. Thanks.

See you out there at 9:30! (If the weather looks like it is going to be really bad tomorrow morning I will send out another post around 8:45-9:00ish letting you all know if we call it off.)

Hey all,

Sorry to say that I am not going to be able to make it out for rugby this evening AND I have the cones.

Can someone come get them from me? I’m at 1100 New York Ave. NW (basically Metro Center).

Respond with a comment to this post if you can come get them and I will coordinate with you via email. Thanks.

All,

We’re on for tomorrow.  Don’t forget to bring a ball!

15th and Independence at 6:00 for any newbies.

Had this message passed along to us from Olivier, on behalf of the Serge Betsen academy.  A number of you were here when Serge came to play a year or so ago, and now we have the opportunity to help him out:

There is a Drive to support Serge Betsen’s Academy in Cameroon on now – there will be a flight on 22 April carrying rugby supplies to his academy of over 50 kids. This is a GREAT opportunity to bring used (or new) jerseys, balls, (not used) mouthpieces, boots, etc. BRING ANY DONATIONS TO TOUCH ON SATURDAY.

Super nice out tomorrow.

Bring a ball.  I’ll bring one just in case, though it’s not the best ball.  And yes, for those keeping track, my plans changed and I will in fact be playing after all.  Luck you.

15th and Independence at 9:30.  See ya’ll there.

Hey guys,

Just reminding the folks with the supplies to be sure to bring them to rugby today. Thanks!

Hey guys,

Things are looking good for tomorrow.  We’re on for 6:00 p.m. at 15th and Independence.  See you there!

The rain is letting up and the sun may even come out. See you out there, 9:30.

So according to the weather it is supposed to be cold and rainy/snow overnight and in the morning. I will send out another blast at around 8:30-9:00 if it looks like it is going to be playable but for now consider Rugby off.
