High School Update:

Although the weather has been hard to cooperate with, we have had 2 weeks of practices now!  Everyone on both teams are doing great, learning lots, but we still have a lot left to learn before our games start!

Boys have a had a top turnout of 35 guys at practice, while the girls have had a top turnout of 25!  Great start and lets keep building on it!  We want that many people at practice every time!

PLEASE get all paperwork turned in ASAP! Everyone needs to fill out a Dues Assistance Sheet, even if you paid the full $200 already!  Concussion waivers are required to be able to play.  Get it turned in. 

Payment plans of $50 or $40 a month are due! Since we did not have practice on Thursday it needs to be turned in this Tuesday!  Please be timely with your payments, we need to be able to get everyone registered.  Talk to your coach with any questions.

Please get your mouth guard and cleats ASAP! Soccer cleats are the most preferred! No toe cleats (like on football cleats).  Black shorts and socks can be purchased online at worldrugbyshop.com, here is the link to the Vacaville store, http://www.worldrugbyshop.com/club/11434930/ or you can go to The Coliseum, 1595 Holiday Lane, Fairfield.  They are needed prior to the first game.

See everyone on Tuesday!

DRESS APPROPRIATELY! Rain coat, pants, tights, hat, (really just bring layers)

RUNNING SHOES ONLY, NO CLEATS!

We will have to play in this weather during season so we need to practice in it sometimes as well!

DROP OFF SPOT For PRACTICE

If you are dropping off for high school practice please drop off at the location circled on the map.  After coming in the first gate you drive up to the first fork.  There, you can pull off to the side, drop off, and turn around.  It is too crowded up at the field with everyone trying to come and go.  Please and thank you!  We are working to find the most efficient way to do this!

** Player Assistance Fund **

https://www.gofundme.com/vacavillerugbyclub

YOU CAN HELP!!

Vacaville Rugby Club is starting a Player Assistance Fund to help athletes who cannot pay their full dues.  Each year, athletes are asked to pay $200 in dues.  $95 goes directly to USA Rugby and Rugby NorCal to register the athlete.  The remaining $105 goes to the team to help with the cost of fields, lights, and equipment.  Every year there are athletes who don't pay their full dues because of financial hardships.  With your help, we as a club can support those athletes who need assistance.  We don't want an athlete to miss out on the opportunity to play rugby because they can't pay their dues.  We want everyone to be given the chance to learn this incredible game and culture that we all love!  

Any donation you can make, big or small, makes a huge difference and is greatly appreciated by everyone in Vacaville Rugby Club.  Thank you!
