There will be no Touch Rugby get together this Sunday, 7/6, because of
the long weekend. We will resume again next Sunday, 7/13.

At present Touch Rugby is being played each Sunday from 10.00 am – 12.00
pm at Blue Jacket Park on the edge of Baldwin Park.

We have had good initial turn outs to the three sessions held so far. In
addition to getting a great cardio work out, we have been learning the
International Touch Rugby rules, terminology, techniques and strategies.
The game is very different than the pick up version of touch we are all
probably used to.

Some folks have expressed difficulty with the Sunday morning time slot
due to church or other family commitments. As a result we are
considering adding an additional night or moving it to a weeknight.
Monday (6.15 pm – 8.15 pm) is the favored night and time as it works
best with those who travel during the week for business.

If you are someone who would be interested in playing Touch Rugby if it
was available on a Monday night, please contact our Match Secretary (at
pcraig@glazingconsultants.com)

See you next Sunday

Orlando RFC has recently welcomed a new member, Phil Wallis. He’s a New Zealander, who became a player/coach of international rules touch rugby after he retired from the 15-a-side game some years ago. In addition to having played in international touch rugby tournaments, he helped set up leagues in both Houston and Singapore. He has just moved to Orlando and wants to set up a weekly touch rugby session here.

Touch Rugby will be played each Sunday from 10.00 am – 12.00 pm at Blue Jacket Park on the edge of Baldwin Park. It begins this Sunday, June 15. 

Many old boys have indicated that they would play touch as a way of getting regular cardio exercise and their “rugby fix”. Everyone is welcome so we encourage you to bring your families and girlfriends, etc., as well.

As Touch Rugby is the ideal way to introduce people to rugby – it is rugby’s pick up game that is played the world over – we will be marketing and recruiting for it as well. Without the contact, we hope more of the curious will be willing to give it a try. As the numbers grow we will continue to make it family fun based but may develop local age grade and/or co-ed leagues.

Phil will be happy to teach anyone the international touch rugby rules, and the techniques and skills unique to the touch game. He will also gladly help and train those of you who may wish to pursue playing at a higher level or in regional and international tournaments (Phil has helped set up one in the Cayman Islands around July 4 this year and is hoping that some of the Orlando players will want to combine with some from Houston at it).

See you on Sunday
