Rugby Pratice

A couple of guys have been doing some serious recruiting for the rugby team and we had about 16 new guys show up today. Another guy and I started about 45 minutes early with the new guys teaching them the basics and doing some simple drills to reinforce the fundamentals.

Then we played some touch rugby. First 2 side by side games of 5 v 5 with occasional short teaching breaks. Then we played a big game of about 10 v 10. The new guys did fairly well and all of them seemed to enjoy it. Having a bigger group of committed athletes could do a lot for our team: bigger better pratices, more depth, scare some skilled players to work harder and get fit, and add a "second" team so we can get more in season double headers against teams with an "A" side and a "B" side so everyone can get more playing time(30 people playing 2 games instead of 22 people subbing into one game).

I am excited!
