The St. Louis Sabres are the oldest MRFU (Missouri Rugby Football Union) women's club team in St. Louis. We play hard and have fun!
We're sending a call out to all female athletes who are looking to try something new. No experience is necessary (most of us never played before our first practice!). For more information, please visit our website at www.StLouisSabres.com.

FIRST PRACTICE!!
Wednesday, August 8th
6:30-8:30 PM
Franz Park
for directions go to: www.stlouissabres.com/Directions.htm
-----------------------------------------------------------
Our players range in age and ability, and come to rugby from various other sports including soccer, volleyball, basketball, field hockey, crew, ice hockey, etc. Most have never played rugby before; some have played on college teams. We do not expect players to know the game of rugby when they come out; basic athletic ability is generally the only requirement.
We have two seasons per year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. Practices are on Monday and Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 pm, and games are generally on Saturdays. Home games are played in Forest Park, Central Playing Fields (brhind the Jewel Box) at approximately 12:00, and away games vary from season to season with an average drive time of 4-6 hours. Most away games will not require an overnight stay but tournaments generally do.
Rugby is a full-contact sport (this means tackling); certified coaches teach the fundamentals of that skill and the other necessary skills. Existing players are very supportive with teaching drills and other points of the game.
The cost of playing rugby is minimal. Cleats, a mouthpiece, and rugby shorts are the only equipment that is the responsibility of individual players. There is an annual fee for membership in USA Rugby (approximately $80) and club dues each season to cover the cost of hosting other teams, practice equipment, medical kit supplies, etc.
