After a long and (somewhat) restful summer, the Magpies are anxious to begin the fall with a regular practice schedule starting on September 30th. The team looks to infuse a seasoned roster with some new youth and skill. With an emphasis on recruiting, the magpies hope to give some needed depth to a shallow player pool.

The fall preseason will provide the team with veteran and rookie games designed to give the Magpies some crucial experience and development. December 13th will bring a close to the preseason with the first annual Tucson Challenge Cup against Old Pueblo Lions. Regular Season games will begin on January 3rd with a home game against the Yuma Sidewinders.

The Tucson Magpies would like to welcome anyone interested in participating one of the country's largest growing sports. No experience is required, all you need is a desire to have fun and be part of a team. We will be hosting a recruiting event on Saturday September 13th. Please continue to check this website for up to date information.

For further information regarding practice, games, the recruiting event or other team activities please contact John Rouff: info@tucsonrugby.com
