Social Distance does not mean rugby is over!
This is a chance for players, coaches, referees,
and parents to work on our individual skills and
stay keyed in our seasons. When we can safely
return to play, don't you want to be better?
So take the challenge...we will be monitoring
progress, we are working on prizes and
recognition for the winners.
The Home Pitch Challenge is a four-week
challenge beginning on Sunday, 3/15, as "Week 0."
and ending on Saturday, April 18. Individual
Scores must be submitted by midnight of each
Saturday, as point totals and winners will be
announced each Sunday.
Who: Anyone can play, and we encourage you to
complete every week.
When: Week 0 & 1: 3/15-3/28, Week 2: 3/29-4/4,
Week 3: 4/5-4/11, Week 4: 4/12-4/18
Where: AT HOME - Use FaceTime/Google Hangouts
to do any desired tasks together while
