Hail Vikings,
We have the pleasure of welcoming our Welsh tour hosts, West Monmouth School, for a return visit to Seattle July 14th to 17th. We will have more details closer to the dates they arrive but the general itinerary is below. The group has 40 players so it will be on hands on decks for hosting. If you can help with hosting please reach out to Rita Mohn rcmohn@comcast.net. This group treated us very well while we we were in Wales, so I know that we will all host in true Vikings fashion. If you have ideas on activities or anything we can do let us know rugby@seattlevikings.com.

Hi all,
Posting a message from Coach Dave Miller on our upcoming jamborees for U9/U11/U13 players. The first two matches are rugby "jamborees" to be hosted by Liberty Rugby club. (A jamboree is a format that allows us to break kids up by a blend of age and abilities, to play lots of rugby in a two-hour period. (Note: We will host our own jamborees for other clubs in the coming months, and I will be turning to all of you for a little assistance with food, hosting help.)

The first two matches are:

Sunday, March 10th, Noon - 2:00p

All Vikings are expected to arrive no later than 20 minutes before, dressed in their Vikings rugby shirt, short and socks. We take great pride in our club, and a complete uniform, with appropriate black-only undershirt, as needed, is appreciated.

Players should have a mouth guard with them for all practices and games, from here forward. This is a great, great group of kids. We look forward to a great season.
