If you're a parent deciding what sport your kid should try in elementary and middle school, and you don't have rugby on your list, then you're making a mistake. Rugby is played as non-contact touch or flag rugby in most areas of the country until you get to high school. In middle school, kids are ta...

I know this is SUPER short notice, but if anyone is free Tuesday night, please consider attending the community meeting at Lindale Middle School at 6:30PM to support the potential partnership between AA County and Baltimore City Parks and Rec departments to provide shared field space between the two communities. The AA County Parks and Rec director would like to support the growth of Rugby in the county and knows that this partnership could be beneficial to our programs. Bring your kids, wear your uniforms, let’s show the county what a benefit this partnership can be for all the rugby programs.

Hope to see you all there …

FROM A RUGBY PARENT:

One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money and spend so much time running around for your son to play rugby?" Well I have a confession to make: I don't pay for my child's rugby training or kit, mouthguard or boots. Or even their hundreds of rugby balls.

So, if I am not paying for rugby, what am I paying for?

- I pay for those moments when my child becomes so tired they feels like quitting but don't..

- I pay for the opportunity that my child can have and will have to make life-long friendships.

- I pay for the chance that they may have amazing coaches that will teach them that rugby is not just about game plans but about life.

- I pay for my child to learn to be disciplined.

- I pay for my child to learn to take care of their body.

- I pay for my child to learn to work with others and to be a proud, supportive, kind and respectful team member.

- I pay for my child to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that try they hoped for, or dropped the ball despite having practiced a thousand times, but still gets up and is determined to do their BEST next time...

- I pay for my child to learn to make and accomplish goals.

- I pay for my child to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight.

- I pay so that my child can be on the pitch instead of in front of a screen...

I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for rugby; I pay for the opportunities that rugby provides my child to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their life, and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen for many years, I think it is a great investment!
