HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB
There are
two ways to join: you may call
Coach Bing Dawson at (619) 417-6044, or simply come to a practice session
and introduce yourself. We will introduce you to OMBAC Rugby and the sport we love.
ALL ARE WELCOME
New members are always welcome at
OMBAC Rugby. This welcome is extended to experienced players, to athletes who are new to the game, to coaches and administrators, and to those who may wish to
become a spectator or become social members.
OMBAC Rugby has never discriminated on the basis of age, sex, race, religion, color or national origin. Quite frankly, we are too busy playing rugby and having fun to be caught up in such matters. We train, socialize and play rugby together as good friends throughout the year. Our club is truly an athletic fraternity. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate.
NEW TO RUGBY?
Don’t worry if you have never played rugby before. The game is simple
and easy to learn. Likewise, do not worry if you are not in top physical
shape. Our coaches and experienced players will have you ready to roll
after just a few practice sessions.
OMBAC Rugby is comprised
of 4 sides at 3 levels of play - RSL (Rugby Super League), Div 1, and
Div 3 - this gives our players of different experience levels a much
greater opportunity to compete.
EQUIPMENT AND CLUB DUES
The club provides match jerseys. Each player supplies his own rugby shorts, socks, athletic shoes and mouthpiece. Annual dues are $200.00,
plus $25.00 paid to USA Rugby, our national governing body (There
are various payment avenues for those in need of assistance). We
do not "Nickel and Dime" you with additional fees due to our generous
sponsors, who
pay the vast majority of the costs of running the club.
The club operates several fundraisers
- we do this in an effort to keep individual dues affordable. Each club member is expected to pitch in with fundraising in an effort to keep club dues low. Fundraisers with an element of "fun" have been developed over the years to encourage member participation.
