Chicago Wapiti RFC are formally idle this weekend. However, there are two events you should be aware of: an open, informal session at Revere Park on Sunday from 2:00-4:00 and the Illinois Youth Rugby State Championships beginning at 08:20 Monday, Memorial Day, May 28, 2012 in Lemont, IL.
After a brief hiatus due to Mother’s Day (Thanks Moms!) and lightning two weeks ago, we are looking forward to a park full of Wapiti Ruggers again. Those of you coming to us from the South Side of Chicago may want to allow for a little extra time to get here, as LSD is closed for some minor event that is rumored to be happening in Chicago this weekend. Don’t forget the sunscreen and extra water!
Go Wapiti!
Sorry Folks,
Our one condition for cancellation has been lightning. Which it is. See you next week at the Luther North clinic on Saturday.
Latest Update: 1:30 Apparently coaches are at the fields and the lightning has moved off. Some coaches and kids are running around, but this will be an official cancellation week. If you are en route, you may stop by and have an unofficial soggy run around, but we built this cancellation week into the schedule.
Temperatures in the high 60s – low 70s with a chance of thundershowers later in the afternoon… Perfect! Fields appear to be in good shape and, as always, if there is any sign of lightning we will suspend operations.
Beginning with a free clinic at 10:00 hosted by Chicago Wapiti RFC and Chicago North Shore Women’s Rugby, followed by two 15s matches, featuring Luther North College Prep in the first match and Chicago North Shore Women’s Rugby vs. Chicago Women’s RFC in the second. We would like to have as many of our Wapiti players in attendance as possible.

Once again the Chicago Wapiti RFC will be convening at Revere Park from 2:00 until 4:00. It is great to see how quickly these kids, most of whom are new to the game, have learned how to pick up the ball and run with it.
See you at the pitch!
UPDATE 4/20/12 – Registration is Closed
