Rugby Information
If you would like to learn a little more about rugby, feel free to download our informational packet here.
All Home Games will now be at Union Mine High School at 5:30 p.m.
All our "away" matches start as close to 4:00 p.m. as possible.
Mother Lode Rugby Football Club membership is open throughout theentire season, and we would like to encourage all who have an interest in our sport to attend our games and/or practice sessions to observe rugby in action. We hope you'll like what you see and perhaps join our club. Note that we are trying to get enough participants to begin a new program for middle school students in El Dorado County. The 6th, 7th and 8th graders who are already part of Mother Lode Rugby are having a great time and would love to have more teammates.
Practices
Tues/Thurs, @Rolling Hills Middle School, 4-5:30pm
Please understand that schedules are subject to change due to field use conflicts or inclement weather, so always check the website for the latest information.
USA Rugby Registration. To meet liability insurance and the requirements of USA Rugby, all players should be registered with USA Rugby before attending any practice sessions. See the left sidebar for the link to USA Rugby.
Club Registration. Also, players must be registered as members of the Mother Lode Rugby Football Club. See the left sidebar for the instructions and link to the form.
Gear. All it takes to practice is shorts and cleated shoes (football or soccer cleats are permitted so long as the front cleat is removed). Regular equipment and uniform orders will be explained at the Informational Meeting, but the cost runs approximately: shorts-$20, socks-$6-$8, jerseys-up to $65 (expensive, but they can last several years). We will also order tee-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. if enough people want them.
USA Rugby. While you're up on the site, the USA Rugby website (http://usarugby.org) is a great resource for learning about the game, as well as lore and current events around the country. Be sure to check out the "Spectator's Guide To the Game".
