Joining my university's women's rugby team

[Deirachel]

You wouldn't happen to be doing anything (practice/match) in Statesboro this weekend? I happen to, maybe, driving through Sat or Sunday (21/22) after visiting with the parents in Savannah. Would love to cheer you ladies on.

sadly nothing is going on this weekend We have practices on monday and tuesday (5:30pm to 7:30pm) and thursday (6:30pm to 8:30pm). Most of the practices right now are just touch games with the guys team, but when the school year starts we will head into the tackling practice and the different plays.

Congrats! Rugby isn't a game; it's a passion! Your going to be hooked pretty soon. As soon as you get your first game tackle in and your first run....well there is no turning back. Good luck and hope your season is the best!
