Welcome to BD Saints Rugby! Are you interested in joining the team? If so, this information is for you! Rugby is a club sport sanctioned by: RugbyIndiana, The Indiana Rugby Football Union, The Midwest Rugby Union and USA Rugby. Bishop Dwenger competes two levels of play offered by RugbyIndiana. Traditionally, practices have been on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5:30pm. Be prepared to be inside or outside as the weather changes. 2010-11 Conditioning Rugby conditioning has started for the 2010-11 year. Winter Conditioning will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm beginning December 7th and going through the end of January. We will meet in the SAC lobby. Please have the proper gear... gym shoes, t-shirt, shorts. If the temperature is above 32 degrees, there is a possibility that we will be going outside, so bring sweatpants, sweatshirt, hat, and gloves on warmer days. If you need a ride, please contact a coach so they can help make arrangements for you. Questions please contact Sam as his dad, Joe, will be out of commission for the next month with knee surgery. Registration Players use RugbyIndiana to access the IYRF online registration page.
The Registration Process Players will be asked to create a log-in, provide parent and player contact information, review and accept our code of conduct, liability waiver, and parental consent to treat. You will then be prompted to make payment via credit card or check. Those that choose "check" will need to mail it into the address (provided) to be received by March 1st. Last, you will be prompted to "click" to print the parental consent form - you are to have this signed by parent or guardian and deliver to Coach DiFilippo.
*The registration does ask for returning player's CIPP #s, returning players look on the roster page.
Players must meet school, IHSAA, and RugbyIndiana academic requirements, and adhere to the Bishop Dwenger Athletic Code of Conduct and Sportsmanship. A copy of the player's driver's license or state issued ID must be submitted to the coach, as well as a copy of their health insurance card (front and back). Players need to register with RugbyIndiana online. Team dues of $160 will be due at that time and must also be paid online.
Things to Know
NEW IN 2010 We are using the Indiana Sports Concussion Network and the ImPACT concussion management program. To address the concussion issue we are requiring every player to create a baseline test. This is done on-line and takes about 30 minutes. Specific directions on what to do will be given to each player as they give to Coach Porter their signed waiver. This will be a great diagnostic aid for suspected concussions and the protection of our players and your sons. We ask for your support in this. |         |
