The men and women's high school rugby programs in Albuquerque invite you to come out and try your hand at some touch rugby!  It will introduce the passing and ball movement elements of regular rugby, in a safe controlled manner.  Perfect for those new players looking so see what this game is all about, or returning players looking to increase skills.  We are hoping to incorporate new ruggers into our squad and to keep all returning players in contact with each other.  All skill levels are welcome - especially those that have never seen a rugby ball before!  So come out meet some new friends and get a little exercise!  We especially want all U15 players to come out!

So, spread the word and let's meet to play on Sunday nights at 6:30pm at Bullhead park (Gibson and San Pedro).  Hosted by Coach Ali and David Scrymgeour.
