WELCOME!
The SDARFC is a purposely-inclusive and diverse non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sport of rugby within Southern California by providing a safe and supportive environment where novice-level players can learn the game or improve their skills. Our focus is on welcoming underrepresented groups, including the gay and minority communities, and on fostering the social and community interactions that are a natural outgrowth of team sports.
The SDARFC is currently the only Men's Division IV (beginner's) rugby team in San Diego. The SDARFC welcomes all players regardless of previous experience, physical ability, sexual orientation, race, national origin or fitness level. If you are interested in the sport, either as a spectator, player or fan, we want to hear from you!
So you want to learn rugby?
The first thing to do is read our website and get a good understanding of what the Armada is about and what the sport is like. You're out of shape? So what. You're over 40? Who cares. You're gay? We don't care who you sleep with. We are an all-inclusive team. We celebrate the diversity of our team and respect everyone just the same. So come on down and play! After reading our site, the next thing to do is check out the calendar and look for the next practice session that you can attend. Then show up at that practice! Be sure to wear shorts, a tshirt you don't mind getting ripped or dirty, tennis shoes or cleats, a mouth guard (if you have one), and a bottle of water. If you're worried about just showing to practice, then you can make contact with us via email first at coach@sdarmada.org, info@sdarmada.org or by using the Contact Us page on the site. Our next practice is 02/08/2010 - 6pm - 7:30pm at Robb Field, Mission Beach, 2525 Bacon Street - San Diego, CA 92107.
