Women,s rugby: an open invitation by Jessica Reitz, '01
There was fun going on last Saturday,
outside on the small playing field. Four
hardy souls joined me to learn their first
rugby skills, ball handling and tackling. The
snow was ankle deep, enough to discour
age too much running and to soften our
intentional and increasingly skilled tum
bling. Kudos to Junior Laura Lewis and
Freshmen Natasha Vermaak, Samantha
Warburton, and Whitney Welsh for their
spirit and effort on Saturday.
If you want to start this Saturday, you
haven't missed the show, only an opportu
nity for practice. We will practice ball han
dling and tackling pretty exclusively for the
next few weeks, because they are the foun
dation of the whole game. I explain linle
pieces of the game along with the skills so
their purpose might become more clear. If you haven't guessed it so far, NO PRIOR
KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE IS NEC
ESSARY OR EXPECTED. All we need are
bodies looking for a different sort of out
door activity.

Weather changes. We play rugby any
way. Anyone who convinced herself other
wise should layer-up in long underwear and
sweatpants and join the fun this Saturday
from 2-3 pm. New and shiny mouthguards
will be provided. Wear cleats if you have
them, borrow if you can, or just wear your
feet if you must.
I'm more than happy to answer ques
tions, allay fears, and ramble incessantly
about my old games. If you want to get me
started, call me at x5522, or stop by on sec
ond Campbell. Just no questions about the
icky men's we-want-to-do-what-the
women-are-doing rugby team; send those
questions to Jason Emery The signs I posted
are hot pink!
Interested in the idea, but not the all
weather toughness? Contact Jessica Reitz or
one of the intrepid individuals mentioned
above, so we know that you're considering
spring rugby, and we'll welcome you with
the fairer weather.
Keeping luggage wheels well-lubricated
can help. insure that they'll keep rolling
while they're in use.
High as a kite? The official altitude
record for kite-flying is 12,471 ft.-more
than two miles high!
