Coaches Corner

Youth rugby
BC players and old boys currently participate and run several youth rugby teams in the surrounding Baltimore area. Now we are ready to start a team in the city.

We seem to have enough kids and coaches for us to fill our commitment to the city to get youth rugby (Under 15's, 13’s, 11’s, co-ed, touch) started at our home field this summer. Baltimore Chesapeake Rugby team member Danny Cohen and Jeff Brotman are on board as coaches.

We want to work in conjunction with the other programs, which includes the Under 19's tackle male and female (separate) teams. We can take all the help we can get and advice to make this work smoothly together. Matches go from June 21 every weekend until the tournament Aug 2, home and away. Practice begins June 3rd. They will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30 to 8:00 at Bocek Park.

Look at this Channel 4 newsclip on what Washington RFC has done in DC with their youth club. http://video.nbc4.com/player/?id=256027. Good model for us don’t you think?


Old Boys

  • Next Old Boys match - The Atlantic Cup, August 16-17, Dewey Beach, Delaware
    Get your plans straight and commit to being a part of us! Let me know. We have some internal competition now. I hear Baltimore County (Bacon) is putting together a side. They are part of us, but if takes them fielding a separate team to get some watchers to participate, that’s a good thing. So come on Josh, bring it on!
  • New BC t-shirts have arrived. Please see Wade or Jim Hale
    $15 for current BC players
