Danville Oaks Rugby Accepted into Sports Alliance 09-10 Practice Schedule
One of the Key Factors in any sports and especially youth sports situation is to have playable fields to conduct practice and games; no fields = no play. Danville Oaks Rugby with the support of Mustang Soccer, The Athenian School and the City of Danville were able to have state of the art facilities available to them to facilitate the season. To take this further Danville Oaks Rugby has been accepted as a member in the "Sports Alliance" in Danville which helps to anchor the field resources needed to have a solid program today and into the future. Being a memebr in the Sports Alliance allows Danville Rugby like other members to work with the city to secure the necessary field time required before the fields open to the public for rental. So at this point with 2 practices yet to be established (Dec 9/16) we are able to provide a practice schedule(see handouts) for the entire season and we are awaiting league scheduling so we can then schedule game. This is again is a key step for Danville Oaks Rugby and Rugby in the community. http://www.ci.danville.ca.us/default.asp?serviceID1=620&Frame=L1 Handout: Practice 2010
Youth Rugby Program
The Oaks Rugby Program consists of 6 playing groups boys and girls. The Varsity squad is made up of primarily Senior and Junior H.S. players. They will play in the Bay Area Conference silver division. The Frosh-Soph team is Freshmen and Sophmores in high school. U-14 is primarily for 7th and 8th graders (can not be in highschool), U-12 is primarily for 5th, and 6th graders, U-10 and U-8 (touch only) are for elementary school children. These six groups will typically practice and play their games on the same days. We plan to prepare players in the techniques and strategies of playing the game of Rugby with the objective of building a solid, fun, competitive base to propel young athletes in all of their current and future endeavors.Rugby starts training Dec 5th and will run through early April with a break for the Holidays in December. General Principles and Features
Parents, with your support and that of Oaks Rugby, we hope that in a very short period of time you will see your child's coordination, confidence, self-esteem and social skills improve immensely.
