The
NYS Rugby Player Development Camp for college men and women
and high school boys and girls is the perfect way for a
player or a team to start their 2005 season. The clinic
will go through all the basic aspects of rugby along with
the latest skills and laws from the international game.
The clinic is suitable for both new and experienced collegiate
and high school players.
It is the way to get ready for the upcoming season. Join
us on March 12-13 in Rochester, NY - it is a weekend you
