Fw: Wild In The Streets

Got this as a E-mail, pretty interesting.

 

Hello,

My name is Stacie Havemeier and I am contacting you on behalf of a community outreach to rugby clubs around the U.S. in an effort to get the word out on a new documentary called 'Wild in the Streets'. The documentary is a celebration and exploration of the historical origins of Rugby, which began with the ancient game of Shrovetide. We would love to have further conversation with you on collaboration for the film, which is in its final stages of production and is looking to be released this coming Fall. 

Below I've included links to our newly revamped website and Facebook page; they have some great information about the film and the game!

Thank you so much for your time and we hope to hear from you soon

I am excited about the inaugural MPQ workout this Saturday - we already have several guys coming already. Since this is the first one I figured I would create the first workout - in future ones we can come up with whatever. This first one will be a timed circuit and I will be videotaping as people go through for a Youtube video down the line. The winner's name will be posted on my website and facebook pages.

MPQ Workout #1
1) Burpee Chin Ups x 10
2) MB Explosion Push Ups x 10
2) Slider Inch Worms x 20
3) Speed Tire Flips x 20 yd and back
4) MB Floorbreakers x 20
5) Tire Farmers Walk x 20 yd and back
6) Power Sled Drag x 20 yd and back
7) KB Swings x 20
8) Prowler Drives (135lbs) x 20 yd and back
9) Puke then support other people getting screwed
10) Repeat & try to beat your time

Remember, $5 for facility usage and I would also recommend bringing water - it's going to be hot in there. Don't forget some big ass balls!

Message From Copper About up-coming Seven's

"Fellas,

The first potential sevens tournament is the first week of June. So we're gonna hold off on formal practice until mid May-ish. So stay excited, keep up your fitness. You do a lot of running in sevens, so make sure you incorporate this in to your workouts. So keep an eye out for an email with more info in the future regarding sevens.

"Our Game in Atlanta this Saturday against Old White, will be played at 4:30 p.m..  This is very different to our normal time, be sure to prepare yourself mentally and physically for the change.  

Old White is a fierce rival,we need to be ready for a physical game.
