The new season : After a relaxing summer break, we will start back the new season on Sunday 18th August; this is the day before the International School starts back. For those that are new, we will run the season up until the snow arrives, normally the end of November, and we will have some tournaments to attend during this time.
New Kits: Dave and I have been looking at new kits and we are about to place an order for new shirts, (shorts and socks will remain the same). We should take delivery of the shirts before the season starts and we will be giving each paid member of the club a shirt free of charge. As usual additional shirts will be available for parents (at cost + a small margin).
2012/2013 Player awards : We intend to hold the annual player awards straight after the first day back training session, we would normally hold this on the last playing day of the season; however we were at Lausanne this year. Each and every player will be given a club medal and we will recognise those players that coaches think have made exceptional contributions. If the weather holds out for us (fingers crossed), we would do this in the Unterageri Badi around lunchtime on 18th August.
Zug Rugby Club Tournament : We have already registered ourselves to hold our home tournament on 29th September 2013. Last year we used the Badi as our base, however, this year we will have to organise most of it ourselves. Please watch this space as we will require a number of volunteers to help on the day.
Professional Rugby Coaching : On the weekend of the 24th August, I have arranged for the academy coaches from Worcester Warriors to come to Zug. They will be running coaching sessions for our coaches, our kids and our senior club. This is a date for your diary as final itinerary is not concluded yet, but both coaches and kids will benefit significantly from these sessions, please watch this space.
