Note:
Chattanooga RFC - it has been requested by the Rossville Athletic Association that we not park on the field for our matches. Since we should feel priveledged to have use of this field I don't think this is too much to ask of us. While it might be necessary to occasionally drive on the field to set up equipment, please do not leave your vehicle on the grass and move to the parking lot as soon as possible.

Youth Camp Preparation at Thurs practice!

All,

I've been getting a good response from you all regarding help with the youth camp. Still have a few people I haven't heard from and we are still well short of the total number of people we need.
I am going to use the first part of this Thursday's practice as our preparation for the camp so we can go over what is expected of everyone and run drills etc. This does not mean practice is cancelled, quite the opposite. Whether you are able to help with the camp or not, we need everyone there. If you usually come to practice don't use this as an excuse to sit out. We will be practicing. We will be running drills and playing a game. I want to prep the volunteers and get them used to coaching a small group and refereeing games etc.
If you have volunteered, please be at the Rossville game field BY 7pm ready to go. The camp is the following week and time is tight!!!

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AT PRACTICE THURSDAY BY 7PM!

See you there.

Jared.

Up Coming Events for Nooga

Well we've finished the spring season and are now looking forward to a few weeks off before we start the summer season.

First, we're going to have our spring banquet and golf outing on Saturday, May 2. For the golfing event, we'll be playing 18 holes at Eagle Bend. Tee off will be at 9:30 am and the cost is $35.00. If you are planning on playing, please let me know so we can get an accurate head count. Later, at :6:30, we will have our banquet at the Waterford apartment's clubhouse. We're planning on doing it as a covered dish BYOB again, this worked well for our Christmas party that we decided to do it again.

Second, the Chattanooga RFC is going to host a youth clinic June 2 - 6. This camp will be open to ages 6 - 12 and we are working in conjunction with Chattanooga Parks and Recreation to introduce the game of rugby to as many kids as possible. This is a real opportunity for us to promote both ourselves and the sport itself. if you have time to contribute, we would appreciate your time as we will need as many people as we can get to help with this event. We are hoping to use this to get the game in to the schools and then approach the high schools later this year to start their program for next spring. If you think you can help, please let me know.

Third, our annual 7's tournament is coming up July 24 - 26 at Cherokee farms in Lafayette. If you have never been to this, you are missing out on one of the best tournaments in the east. We have sold out the last 3 years and expect 20 men's and 16 women's team for the event. Clubs from as far as Michigan, Philadelphia, Florida, Chicago, Louisiana, and other great places have entered in previous years to make this tournament the best social on the east coast. Put it on your calendars and make plans to attend.

Thanks to everyone for their support of Chattanooga rugby and look forward to seeing you soon.

Jack
