Practice Info
Spring and Fall seasons consist of 2x weekly practice sessions,
with matches/tournaments on weekends. Matches are held either at
our home field, or away at various locations throughout the U.S.
(primarily in the northeast). Please visit our schedule
for the most up to date info regarding our matches. Seasonal practices
will also include workout sessions, where a member of our coaching
will guide us through a specialized rugby-lifting program. BWRFC
also continues into June with regular Summer Sevens practices and
matches. Practice location information will be updated in our practice
section.
What do I need to play?
As with all rugby clubs, all players need to be covered by health
insurance. This is a requirement per USA Rugby.
As
far as what to wear, if you have any rugby gear from past playing
experience we always encourage wearing that to practice as much
as possible. If not, don't worry! You can collect these items as
the season progresses, and as you decide if rugby is right for you.
Generally speaking, if you are not wearing rugby gear to practice
you should wear comfortable but sturdy work-out clothing, with sneakers
or cleats - all depending upon what will be most weather appropriate
if we are outside versus in the gym. Water is always a suggestion
to bring as well.
For
matches, BWRFC has a standard "kit" that players wear.
The chart below is the most basic of items included in this kit,
as well as items that you may want to purchase for yourself for
use during practice.
All
of the gear listed below may be purchased via Ruggers.com.
