When are games? We will usually enter at least one fall tournament (To get warmed up for the season) and a few preseason  games in November and December. League play begins in January . You can expect to have a game every Saturday (with a few 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 the treasurer know your payment plans.

What equipment is required? You need a good pair of cleats that has 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 or Scrumbot. If enough people are interested, we can put together a group order to get a discount.
