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. Our team will earn comission by linking from our website.
