Looking to play rugby?

Can’t wait to put your boots back on? Interested in finding out more? Then drop us a line and we’ll answer all your questions. But to get you started, below is some information about BWRFC most new players want to know…

 

I’ve never played before/haven’t played in a long time, can I still join?

Yes! BWRFC welcomes all players who are interested in playing competitive DI rugby. We field two teams to provide all players with the opportunity to play. Our coaches, captains, and veteran players are always around to help with the basics. If you’re ready to work hard you will find yourself falling in love with rugby – for the first time or all over again.

 

When is practice?

That depends on the time of year, but during our Fall and Spring seasons we usually practice two nights a week and try to stick to Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Our practice times are flexible – check the schedule, the calendar is kept up to date with practice locations and times.

 

Where is practice?

Field space is often hard to find in Boston, so we are also flexible with our location, practicing wherever we can find a field with lights. We are often found at Moakley Field in South Boston, or English High School in Jamaica Plain, but we practice wherever we can find space. Check the practice schedule - the calendar is kept up to date with practice times and location changes. We try to keep our practice locations T-accessible, but we also organize carpools – so please let us know if you need to find a way to practice.

 

What do I need for practice?

All you need for practice is general workout clothes (clothes you don’t mind getting dirty), water, a mouthguard which you can pick up at any major sporting goods store, rugby shorts and cleats if you have them (molded cleats not metal studs for when we practice on turf) or sneakers, and a willingness to work hard and have a good time doing it. If you have never played before, don’t worry about not having all the gear, pick up a moutguard and give practice a try.
