Looking for summer fun - How about Rugby Camp?
Here
in the states summer is finally upon us and our regular tournament
schedule is on hiatus. 
Most
quad rugby enthusiasts are enjoying the break and using their free time to
visit family and friends, catch up on chores, and taking long awaited
vacations. Hopefully you have found some way to keep yourself occupied as
well.
While it may seem that nothing is going on rugby wise, that’s not the case. There are many teams and athletes who are practicing through the summer, while others get together for a recreational chair banging every few weeks. Most players just can’t go for long periods without needing to hop in a rugby chair and getting rid of some of that pent up energy and aggression. I think we've all had that urge at one time or another.
Those of you who are looking for summer rugby activities take note. There are several open events over the upcoming months that you might consider. I’ve listed a brief description of some of them below, and posted additional information on the Rugby Calendar.
9th
Annual Summer Blast
Held on August 4th and 5th in Oceanside California, this is one of the funnest two-days of rugby around. Open to the first fifty players, teams are selected on the fly and can be made up of 4, 8, 9 and 10-point lineups. The gym is located right on the beach, which adds to the enjoyment of this annual event. Contact Bob Martinson at (760) 439-9357 for more details.
USQRA
Summer Quad Rugby Camp
Attention players, coaches and aspiring referees! On August 23-26 the Chicago Bears, RIC and the USQRA will host a 4-day rugby camp in Chicago that includes opportunities to learn and play for all. Beginning on Thursday morning, players and coaches will hit the gym for four-days of play and instruction with 3-time National Champion Coach, Kevin Orr. The referee’s clinic will begin on Friday morning and will be taught by Darren Roberts.
This camp will provide great learning opportunities for all who attend. Reasonable hotel rates and free airport transportation is available for attendees. Space is limited and filling up fast so contact Bob Jackson at (630) 960-5664 to register today.
USQRA
Fall Quad Rugby Camp
This camp is for players looking to improve their game and get some good playing time. Hosted by Roosevelt Institute, Blaze Sports and the USQRA, this clinic will be held in the rolling hills of southwest Georgia on October 11-14th. Instruction will be provided by Paralympic Coach Wendy Gumbert, and will include 3 days of instruction and gym time.
This is a great place to get you game together before the first tournaments of the season begin. If you’ve never been to Warm Springs this is one of the favorite stops for all athletes who have been there before. Limited to the first 25 people who register, you can contact Wendy Gumbert at (706) 655-5720 to sign up now.
