Practise Info

Fall practices are held from 6-8 pm Monday and Wensday nights at West Campus Pitch.

Players are encouraged to be 15 minutes early to warm-up and stretch before practice. Players should bring rugby shorts, boots (cleats), mouth guard, and a rugby shirt if possible, but if you dont have them just come in comfortable clothing. Ware cleats ("boots") if you have them. However any boot with a toe spike (i.e. football, lacrosse) is considered illegal, as are baseball spikes.

Conditionings are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 pm to 7 pm at West Campus Pitch.

Players should bring both boots and running shoes as conditioning activities vary. Rugby shorts and jerseys are not required.
