practice and more

Gentlemen,
I recieved my copy of the WorldRugbyShop catalog today and I noticed some sales that are going on right now. The Adidas Torpedo X-Ebition is on sale for 11.99. Thats way cheap, and the purchase of a ball is invaluable to your rugby improvement. I have personally used the Torpedo before and its a good ball. To see the X-Ebition, click here. Also, the next best pice is the CCC Armourflite WRS which is 14.99. Also, very cheap. I have never used the Armourflite before, but I know that CCC is one of the top brands of rugby equipment. To see that one, click here.  ALL RUGBY BALLS SHOULD BE ORDERED IN A SIZE 5. These sales dont last forever...
 
Next thing is practices. We have missed many of you at practice. Just a reminder, brought to my attention because of the weekend with all of the rain, we play in all weather. I recall last year that my first practice was in the snow... So come on down to practice in the elements. I believe about 80% of our games last year were raining, so its best to train in the same conditions as you will perfom.

First Practice!!

So, our first practice was last Saturday (Nov 3, 2007) and it was incredible. We had exactly 15 players show up, which is upped from the six at last year's first day of practice, and so we played around a little bit. Everybody was curious about a lineout, scrum, and I think we may have crammed too much information into everyone's brains! We had some really promising new kids come out for the team, so shout outs to Eric, John, Mikhail, DJ, Connor, and Zach. Props to John and Connor for playing wing and scoring in the corners. That is how we usually score in games: The big forwards push up slowly but surely, then we spin the ball down the line and beat them into the corner with the wing. Zach, props for the interception that resulted in a try! You have wheels man! Mikhail, I beat you on the game with passing the rugby balls the first few times around, but I noticed you were still in there after all the other newbs were out. DJ, what can I say? After so much strife between the two of us, my respect is restored. You have an awesome spin in your pass (which nobody should try to do unless they can pass it regularly already) and I think you will be a threat for our team if you can end up playing!

Our next practice is in two days (Sat Nov 10) at 11:00 AM. Make sure you all come, because the more you miss the further behind you are in learning the game! It is easier to learn the game if you are the only one who doesn't know how, so you can always join the team. Rugby is so awesome, you are all missing out if you don't show up!!

P.S. anyone looking to purchase a rugby ball, we use size 5 standard. You can probably only purchase one online because of the lack of stores in the greater Tacoma area. They are relatively inexpensive. You can go to WorldRugbyShop.com or rugbyimports.com to order one. See you on the field!
