After a successful social and regular season we are excited to move into Summer 7’s mode. There are a large number of Sharks still in the Flagstaff area and we will continue to train once a week. Starting May 15th we will be practicing every Tuesday beginning at 6:00PM on the NAU campus. The field that we play on, Observatory Field, is just behind Reilly Hall and parking is readily available. We welcome all interested people to come out to our summer training sessions were the atmosphere is welcoming and the weather is perfect.
For those of you that don’t know, our summer season is what we want to make it. There are a number of tournaments throughout the surrounding areas to compete in and if we get enough people I am sure we could potentially travel out of state for a couple. This summer season is all made possible by our summer training sessions. Summer training sessions consist of touch practice and other fun activities, e.g. disc golf, regular golf, trips to the creek, and of course trips to the pub. We are a band of brothers that like to enjoy Flagstaff to the fullest.
Touch practice is the most basic form of rugby and is essentially pick-up rugby. There is no contact or tackling and people come out just to get a solid run in. There are both experienced and non-experienced players at these sessions and we are willing to teach the game to anyone interested. Since there is no contact, men and women play side by side, which adds an interesting spin to the game.
The Landsharks have been a part of the Flagstaff community for over 35 years and we are always looking for new players to add to our roster. Summer training sessions are not just for college students. The Landsharks compete in the Arizona Men’s Division throughout the year and we appreciate all interested folk, young and old. Under 19? Our club has a place for you! Our U19 club is available for boys from 14-19 years old; anytime is a great time to start learning the rewarding sport of rugby. Be ready for the season to start in the fall by coming out to our summer training sessions.
Try something new and put yourself up to the ultimate challenge.. PLAY RUGBY! You won’t regret it!
