Seattle Quake Rugby
New Player Orientation
January 26th, 12-2pm
Montlake Playfield
Post Practice Social @ R-Place
The Seattle Quake Rugby Club is having their first New Player Orientation (NPO) of the year. This event is open to everyone regardless of rugby (or other team sport) experience.
The Quake is a club dedicated to bringing rugby to those who have been traditionally left out, with special interest to gay/bi men and men of color. The club is a mix of straight and gay players who focus on the competitive sport of rugby while developing a sense of fraternity. All are welcome.
The practice will last for two hours with much of that consisting of a beginner’s introduction to the sport. There will be running, ball handling, and some basic skills instruction. After practice players will go to one of the team sponsors, R-Place, for some free beer and food. There, you will be able to socialize with the members of the Quake and learn more about this amazing sport. For more information about the Quake please visit www.quakerugby.org.
Interested participants should bring: water, shorts, a dispensable t-shirt, and running shoes or cleats. Also, dry cloths to change into for the post practice social.
Here are the Frequently Asked Questions which includes a link to the “rookie primer.”
But if getting dirty with sweaty men on the rugby field is not your thing you can still show your support by purchasing the 2008 Quake Rugby Calendar or maybe one of their cool looking t-shirts.
