Scrimmage at Atlanta Rhino's Half

Today we played a 6v6 scrimmage during halftime at the Atlanta Rhinos vs Jacksonville Axemen match.  Here are the boys after the game looking awesome.

Middle School Rugby Club Locations

Someone asked us where the middle school rugby clubs were located in Atlanta.  We made this handy reference for them and it seems a waste to trash it, so we will post it here.

X marks the spots.

Here is some video of the Middle School boys vs Roswell (Green) and East Cobb (Blue).  Enjoy!


The lesson here is look where you want to run and not at the ref. Sorry ref, we love you, but you are not what we are running to.

Video: Two Scrimmages

Here we have two videos. One of the Middle School squad scrimmaging and one of the Elementary Squad scrimmaging. Another good day at the Warren Boys and Girls Club.

Ten Minutes of Our Second Match!

Here is 10 minutes of our second match including our first try!  The try action starts at 7:30.

Our First Try

We scored our first try today. It was our first try playing full contact rugby against another team. It was perfect. Jackson ran it down the length of the field, but got tackled before making it into the try-zone. The whole team ran down in support and battled for the ball. First Drew got it, then was tackled and then Makaio was able to get it in. Makaio scored the try, but it was a full team effort. Really great stuff. Good job boys!

Jazmin!

Today Jazmin told the boys two things.

1 - She got engaged! Cheers all around.
2 - She is moving to Chicago for a few months.  Tears all around.

Thank you Jazmin for coaching the boys!  You are a great coach and we will miss you!

Jazmin is the awesome one in the middle

23 Degrees

It was 23 degrees. The boys were ready! If was great to get back to the field and play some rugby. Great practice.
