Upcoming 15's rugby games for Lady Mavericks:
February 9th -- Lady Mavericks vs Manila Rogues
March 2nd -- Lady Mavericks vs Makati Chiefs
May 4th -- Lady Mavericks vs Lady Eagles
The schedule was sent out the other day and upon seeing just how close we are to my first 15's game, I felt anxiety. I'm still learning how to play touch rugby but full contact rugby is a whole other game.
"15's" is full contact rugby, right?! See, I don't even know.
I missed the past few rugby practices because of work and tomorrow I have practice. They now train on Mondays and Wednesdays but out of town. It's too far, the expense adds up, and I honestly can't afford such a chunk of time to improving my game, especially when you consider on Mondays and Wednesdays I'm at the boxing club for about 2.5 hours.
The girls on the team are awesome, they've got mad talent, but I'm not up to par with their skills on the field. I'm trying, I really am, and I'm Goggling the hell out of the game and it's rules, but it's not an easy sport. Some of my teammates have been playing for years, some have full fledge scholarships because of their rugby, and even the team is sponsored by various companies. We've got a club van, it's legit. The team is official. It's not some amateur team and this isn't some amateur sport. I really need to kick up my game, learn more for myself and learn more to help my team.
