Happy Holidays! It was great to see so many players this fall as we gear up for next season. We expect to be able to field competitive teams at the 18-under, 16-under and 14-under age groups, as well as a girls side new this year. Lots going on with Vikings rugby, visiting teams from Colorado and California, a European tour in 2013! Three things to do be doing right now as a new or returning player:

1. Recruit Girls and Boys! see the recent post on recruiting resources, a player that brings another player out will receive a free rugby ball. Two players, a ball + a T-shirt.
2. Stay/Get fit! follow the fitness plan created for rugby players, if players are already involved in a winter sport this isn't neccesary.
3. Review Player Requirements. see the player packets at this post. You can return these to any coach in January.

In January all players should attend our pre-season QuickStart sessions designed to teach brand new players how the game of rugby is played and to re-orient our experienced players on passing, running, defense and other elements of the game. Plan to bring sweats, cleats or running shoes and water. Finally, if you want some Vikings gear as a gift or stocking stuffer see Susan Michaels, her order form for gear is here. Contact Susan at susanmichaels1@comcast.net.

There have been a few changes in our schedule, note that the first two QuickStarts will be at Roosevelt HS (66th and 14th Ave NE), additionally we are practicing on Tuesday and Thursday starting January 24th and through the month of February.
