Video Clips: Chaparral vs. ThunderRidge

The sun was brutal on this day and it did not help matters that this was my first attempt at filming a fast moving sport like Rugby-so bare with me. I hope to improve with each game! More posts to follow as time allows.
PS: There is no sound on this clip.


Freshman/Sophomore tournament

The first Freshman/Sophomore tournament was last night at Dicks Sporting Goods park. We had 12 players present and played 2 close games.

Next tournament is Monday March 31 in Highlands ranch and we hope to take a full side of 15 players to the next event.

Spring fling results

Excellent performance at the Spring Fling on Saturday.

Starting with a league victory against DC 32 - 5 in a short game and continuing with a solid victory against a big Aspen team 13 - 5.

A big thanks to everyone who turned up to offer support and all the players who turned out for different schools to make up numbers for their squads.

Most importantly we saw continued improvement from everyone which is our main goal for every game this year.

Weekend - March 8th tournament

All,
The schedule is out for this weekend. We play DC at 2:00 and Aspen at 4:00.
The other games start at 10:00 AM and I will be going early to watch Aurora, Colorado Springs, Cherry Creek, Tigers etc.
Anyone who wants to go early is welcome to meet me at the school (senior parking lot) at 9:00.
Everyone else should plan on getting to the fields by noon. Everyone bring a lawn chair in case the field is wet and plenty of warm clothes.
Bring money as they will provide concessions and Soccer/Rugby Stop will have a tent for gear.

Northwest Open Space Park can be found on www.Mapquest.com at 2100 W. 112th Ave. Northglenn, CO

Parking access west of Pecos on 112th (this is the best option), or 104th to Huron north to Kennedy west to the park, or 104th west to Quivas turn right to the park. Do not park at the apartment buildings because they will tow you.

Also, Duffeyroll's are due on tomorrow at practice. Make sure you have payment for all your orders and checks should be made out to Chaparral High School. Whoever sells the most will receive a brand new Adidas Rugby ball.
