Bates Women's Rugby Football Club

Gearing up for Next Season

3/28/2014

With next season soon upon us, we've started preparing! We've got our game schedule (updated and put under the "schedule" section of the website) and we cannot wait to start playing! We're getting tired of simply playing touch drills inside with the boys team and we're ready to get outside and start tackling.
There are also whisperings of prom rugby happening some time in the spring with our fellow NESRC teams. Now, how fun would that be?

"In our country, true teams rarely exist…social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit…Yet these Rugby players, with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that Rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own."
