We expect all players to attend practice. Here are some basic guidelines.
Most of the Coaches have made and/or led Kairos while at the Prep. We support, encourage and appreciate the Kairos Retreat Program and Sr. Woody's efforts, and feel it is a valuable aspect of every Prep Student's experience.
That being stated, we expect our players to plan accordingly and sign-up for a Kairos that does not conflict with the game and practice schedule.
The above guidelines will apply.
Occasionally, the team will hold Saturday practices. These are meant to supplement the team's regular practice schedule and to allow a little more time to work on drills, skills, and particualr aspects of the game.
Outside commitments - work, family obligations - are understandable. We expect players - especially players working for a starting spot on any of the sides - to make every effort to attend.
Players should talk to the coaches with questions or concerns.
Beginning Season Practice
NEW PLAYERS
Prep Rugby runs a 2 week introductory practice session for new players, beginning either in late January or in early February at Memorial Hall Field.
Players should meet in the foyer after school the day of the first practice and pay attention to the Daily and 7th Period Announcements.
Players who are interested in other sports but are considering rugby are welcome to come to practice whenever their winter sports end their season.
RETURNING PLAYERS
Returning players are expected to attend the New Players' Practice to assist the new players and to get ready for the season.
Those players who are participating in other winter sports are expected to continue through to the end of that team's season. They can then join rugby practice at that time.
Have questions? Please check the FAQ Page.
Prep Rugby generally will practice in any weather, safety permitting and field conditions permitting. Students should never assume practice will be cancelled simply because it is raining or it is cold.
Nevertheless, safety is a priority and in the event that practice needs to be moved indoors, students are always expected to have practice clothes for indoor and outdoor practice.
Included in dues are practice clothes. They have not yet arrived but will be distributed upon arrival.
Students should also have clothes to change into for the car/bus ride home.
Mandatory:
- mouthguard
- spikes and sneakers
Optional:
- headgear
- protective vest
- athletic tape
- other safety gear
