There will be a players clinic hosted by the UNM coach (Miguel) at Johnson Field on Saturday, 6 Feb, at 1030.  All high school kids are invited.  Please get the word out this week and let's have a good turnout.  We'll be done by 1200, and can watch the UNM-Aardvark scrimmage after the clinic.

Reminder: you must be CIPP'd (for liability/insurance purposes) before you can be involved with a contact situation. Bring a mouth guard and boots.

This for both men and women!

It is time once again to get ready for Youth Non Contact Rugby.  This Sunday, January 31, we will have a mass practice and touch game at the Rio Rancho Pitch at 1:00 pm.  It should last between 1 and 1.5 hours.  So come on out and have a run, and bring a friend or two.

The Rio Rancho pitch is located at Enchanted Hills Elementary School on Obregon  Road in Rio Rancho, from Albuquerque take Coors Road to State Road 528 to Obregon Road (intersection of North Corrales Road (State Road 448) and SR 528) turn left, the field is about ¼ miles from the intersection on your left.

Ruck on,

Hello Little Ruggers and Parents,

 Last Wednesday evening (June 24^th) was the AYRU Isotopes game and picnic.  We got to see Manny Ramirez play for the Isotopes, and since we were in the picnic area and he played left field, we had a great view.  Even though the light rain that was present at the start of the game blew right into our faces, all in all, we had plenty to eat and had a great time.  The game itself ended up being fifteen innings, 8 or 10 of us were still there at the end.  Out of 38 people that agreed to attend we had only 5 that didn't attend (these were 5 tickets that the AYRU ended up paying for with no refund being available).

 This Sunday, July 5^th, we are going to have an informal pick up game of touch rugby to the players at Montgomery Park at 1:00 pm.  So if you are in town and want to have a run come on out.  Ed Cole (the Corrales Coach) mentioned that he might have his grill with him, so there could also be some hot dogs to be enjoyed also.
