OUTDOOR TRAINING TO BEGIN APRIL 15 – RIVERDALE PARK

With the warming of weather the Buccaneers RFC is pleased to announce the beginning of OUTDOOR TRAINING, to start Tuesday, April 15, 6:30 pm at Riverdale Park (off Broadview, south of Danforth). Going forward, training will take place every Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 – 8 pm, at Riverdale Park.

Practicing outdoors means we will be moving to full contact drills, so come prepared with mouth guard.

On Tuesday, April 22, we’ll be holding a full contact scrimmage practice, which will be refereed by ORU Ref Colin Shaw. Besides refereeing and getting the club used to proper game flow, Colin will also concentrate on proper form and engagement during scrums.
Between 6:30 – 7 pm, warm up and team selection. Kick off at 7 pm, red vs. black. Two 20 min halves. Beers at the Fox after!

If you’re a Buccaneer player who can’t make it to a lot of practices, but could choose one to attend, make it April 22. We want as many bodies out to a scrimmage as possible. Scrimmage practices will be held once or twice a month.

Regular season games begin Saturday, May 10. Before then we have two upcoming EXHIBITION MATCHES to warm us up for the regular season.

Saturday April 26 – Opponent TBA
Saturday May 3 – vs. Etobicoke Invictus RFC

Our last indoor session at Monarch Park Dome will be this Sunday, April 6, 12:30 – 2 pm.

GO BUCS!
