We have been getting some great turn outs and the rules are sinking in.

If in doubt, dump it…50/50 balls are high risk in touch.
Upfield momentum will win over high risk anyday.

Too old to play…..nah! if you can catch, run straight and dump the ball between two players that’s all you need to know.
Let the playmakers do the rest.

Remember when you dump the ball …clear the passage quickly and split (run) to the blind side, you may get the ball back in a hurry so be ready.

Think ….dump and split, …dump and split…..dump and split….

Tournament News :-)

Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Houston, Ft Lauderdale, Chapel Hill, NC….to name a few.

Not only do we have the Caymans 4th July tournament to look forward to in 2009, I have been in contact with Amy Wolfinger of Bermuda who is looking at getting touch rugby put on the rugby festival calendar for Easter 09. Bermuda touch is made up of predominantly women but guys are starting to play now.
(our problem is not enough women…girls where are you??)

On the local front, RJ Rewi from Ft Lauderdale (Touch legend) and I are working out a deal to play home and away games with Ft L over the course of a year.

Guys and gals….I am ordering shirts this week.
