Tomorrow we’ll play on the mall outside of the Smithsonian metro stop. The ground is pretty saturated right now from all the rain and it would be nice not to tear up the newly seeded Tidal Basin field. There is a chance this means barefoot if the rangers come by. But in general the weather should be great for playing tomorrow.
I’ll look at ground conditions in the morning, but I don’t expect any significant change.
Small chance of thunderstorms, but for the most part doesn’t look like it will develop. It’s gonna be another hot and humid afternoon. Make sure to hydrate. See you all at 5:30pm
At DC Touch we support our home town MLR team, Old Glory DC. It’s been a challenging season so far and our friends at OG DC want to help fill the stands to bring some home team spirit.
Old Glory has offered us group ticket pricing of $30, and a price break if we can get at least 30 tickets purchased. If you don’t already have a ticket, send a comment or email and we’ll hook you up. This is a great chance to hang with people outside of touch and support the sport.
Also Wednesday location TBD depending on rain
It’s going to be a hot one tomorrow, so we’ll need to cool down after touch with some cold beverages and snacks. No need to get crazy, but feel free to bring a small dish or snack (orange slices?) to share. Hang out with people you know, or get to know someone you don’t. We’ll be bringing the A-game on the tidal basin pitch at 9:30
Obviously, no one playing touch is obligated to picnic, but the more the merrier.
We’ll be on the Tidal Basin pitch at 5:30pm sharp. Anyone late has to run sprints, or bring orange slices. Joking aside, the weather will be beautiful and I can’t wait to run around
We’ll play at 9:30 at the Tidal Basin. Should be a beautiful day for it. If you’re not on vacation come play and have fun.
Since it will be soggy conditions, we don’t want to tear up the freshly seeded tidal basin pitch. We’ll play on the mall just outside of Smithsonian metro stop tomorrow. No one is enforcing permits, but there is a chance the park rangers will enforce the “no cleats” rule and we’ll have a fun barefoot run.
It’s going to be a little chilly and wet. Hopefully not too wet. Prepare yourself
There should be an early afternoon thunderstorm, but it’s forecast to break from 5:30 to 7:30 on account of our rugby. We’ll play at the WW2 fields again. I expect the ground to be wet and temperature to be hot, but 100% fun
We’ll be at the WW2 field tomorrow at 9:30. It might be a hot one so bring plenty of water.
Everything has been happening so quickly the last couple weeks. As most people saw, the CDC issued new guidance for vaccinated people. Our DC mayor made an announcement that most restrictions will be relaxed starting May 21. Best of all, an informal poll revealed that our touch community is head and shoulders above the average regarding vaccination. You could say the safest place you’d be is to play with us all day every day.
With all this good news we’re opening back up, no limits. I encourage vaccination. But more importantly I encourage everyone to review their individual situation and risk before coming to play. We will play Wednesdays at 5:30 and Saturdays at 9:30. I’ll post the day before on this site to confirm, but with summer knocking on the door I don’t see any cancellation due to weather. Our current favorite field is undergoing some rejuvenation, so the field choice may rotate a little each week. I’ll post that here as well.
There are some old faces I’m looking forward to seeing soon, and we’re always excited to make new friends. Play on!
