        So you want to play rugby. Here is some general
        information to get you started.

        When do we play?
        The magpies practice every Tuesday and Thursday
        starting in the early Fall. Games are on Saturdays.
        The season starts around January.

        What do I need to get started?
        To begin playing, all you need is a mouth piece
        and a pair of cleats. (Any cleats that do not have
        a toe cleat will do fine.)

        What are we looking for?
        Any athlete with a desire to win can make a home
        with the Tucson Magpies.

        Who are we?
        Rugby players in general are a bunch of friendly
        guys ready to welcome new players. We are
        no exception.

        Is there a fee?
        You don't have to worry about any fees to start.
        Come out and decide whether or not you enjoy the
        sport first. If you want to become a member of
        the club and play on Saturdays, you will be asked
        to pay $150 in dues. This money pays for our
        fields, union dues and social activities.

        Are you ready?
        If you think you are up to the challenge, come on out
        to a practice on Tuesaday or Thursday night at
        Mansfield Park. (Click for directions) We practice
        from 8 to 10pm. Or if you have other questions you'd
        like answered before coming out, drop us a line.
