New Player Info Sheet

 

 


Who can play? Any Southern California resident. No previous rugby experience required. Bring a good attitude and we can teach you the rest. 

Where do we practice? Practices will now be held at aliso viejo community park.Practices run from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays (Practices for the new year will start on Tuesday, January 5th 2010).  For directions to the new field check the recent news and events for a link too google maps. 

When are games? We will usually enter at least one fall tournament (November 14, 2009 at Huntington Beach) to get warmed up for the season. League play begins in January. You can expect to have a game every Saturday (with two bye weeks) from January through April. Half are at home, and half are away. Games usually begin at 1:00 PM. 

What are the expectations? You are expected to show up for practice on time and ready to learn the drills and techniques that will make us a fit, successful team. Missing practices means you will be less fit and probably get less game time. For home games, you are expected to come early and help set up the field. You are expected to pay your club dues and chip in for home game after-parties. 

What are the costs? Dues are $200 for the season, plus $20 per home game for the after-party events. You are welcome to pay in installments, but should let Bryce (the treasurer) know your payment plans. If you get a sponsor for our club (can be a local business, a supportive family member, or a friend) then you will receive a 2-for-1 waiver of your dues. For example: if your rich uncle chips in $300 to the club, then he will get a nice tax break and you will have $150 of your dues waived—meaning you only have to pay another $50. If you bring in $400 of donations, your dues are completely waived. We have forms for businesses and family members/friends to help you get donations. Talk to Bryce for more info treasurer@gatorrugby.com 

What equipment is required? You need a good pair of cleats that have no toe cleat in the front-and-center of the shoe (American football cleats usually have one, but if you can remove it then you’re ok). For practice you can wear regular running clothes, but you will want to purchase at least one pair of rugby shorts and a jersey (they are more durable). Bring a formed mouth guard and have a big bottle of water on hand. Use the link on our GatorRugby.com website to purchase items through World Rugby Shop. If enough people are interested, we can put together a group order to get a discount. 

Where can I get more info? You should check our website (GatorRugby.com) frequently. We have our game schedule, sponsor information, and all sorts of nifty links for you to peruse. Be sure to sign up for our Yahoo! group while you’re there so you can get email updates if something changes last-minute or to join in team discussions.
