Woodlands Rugby — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 15:01:56 +0000

Thanks to all those who have emailed. My Apologies if we missed in responding to anyone. As vacations wind down and we start catching up again, we look forward to the new year. The few who are still in town are busy lining up the fields and the logistics of the up coming season. As a starting point let me outline the basics about the up coming season.

Try out Dates will be posted here soon. Typical tryout dates are Late October to Mid November. In the Past we have had a rolling tryouts not just one day. You’ll get a chance to show the coaches and learn the positions and a little about the game before the teams are set.

The season runs from mid November – May. This includes the playoffs and the Championships. The State tournament is held annually every April for Girls Varsity and Boy U19 Teams. Both girls and Boys High School aged teams have the chance to advance to the Regional and National tournament and finals held each year.

The Teams Are:
Girls
Varsity/U19 High School
Boys
U11/U13 – Middle School – Jr High
U15 / Freshman
U17 / JV
U19 / Varsity

We are actively looking for a Ladies Coach to Coach the 2009-2010 Texas Girls Varsity State Champions. If you are interested or know someone you can recommend please contact our head coach and Directory of Rugby – Phil Beck: wasps14 @ gmail.com.

It was REALLY hard to find a hotel that wasn’t booked. I was able to get this booked for coaches/players at Western Rugby rate ($89) – but I took all the booked rooms and they wouldn’t allow parents to have this rate anyway. The are other rooms available, but not at the special rate, the regular rate is $159/night.
There is a café of sorts connected and they will have hot breakfast available (potatoes, eggs, bacon – no pancakes) – but we pay for breakfast. Starting at 6:30 in the morning – I’ve warned them we are coming.

Our first match is against Kansas City at 12:00 on Saturday
Sunday our match will be at 9:30 or 11 – depending on how we’ve done so far. Against Katy or Jenks, OK, depending on what their outcome on Saturday.

NOTE: THEY DO NOT ALLOW METAL CLEATS ON THIS FIELD – this is an artificial surface and the city of Fort Worth does not allow use of metal cleats. All players must either wear molded soccer-style cleats or replace metal spikes w/ screw-in plastic spikes
