Louisiana Rugby and NOLA Gold sent a representative out to give children an opportunity to learn about rugby and participate in some drills. Taylor Howden and Nicole Brown from the New Orleans Half-moons were there running the kids through some fun exercises. The event comprised of 8 different stations including soccer, rowing, meditation, rugby and more. Students

For Middle School Rugby: We had a great practice last night. This Saturday, we have scheduled a touch rugby scrimmage against several teams including Jesuit, Bayou Hurricanes, and Northshore/St. Pauls. The scrimmage will take place from 11-12:30ish. Jesuit is playing St. Pauls at 1p in a high school match. I encourage all families to stay and watch, or at least the boys so they can see what the next step for them is entering high school. Scrimmage: Saturday, February 4, 2017
