Roy , Thanks for the information and will pass it on to my son. I am a certified Rugby coach and just trying to steer him in the right direction as he has a lot of talent . He will be in Norfork,Va next May

Cora and Patrick, welcome to the Rugby group on Navy Dads. Of course this season is over, but new ones are ahead.  I understand the All Navy Rugby side has held its camps at NAS Jacksonville; there is some information on the web page for that station.

 

About.com provides information about playing various sports at the "All Navy" level: 

"Sailors who are interested in participating in the Navy Sports Program or serving as coaches are encouraged to first contact their base athletic director to obtain a Navy Sports application and fill out the application completely. Sailors will not be selected without the approval of their commanding officer. The completed application should be faxed to the Navy Sports Office at 901-874-6831. Applications may also be mailed to:

Navy Sports Office,
PERS-651E,
5720 Integrity Drive,
Building 457,
Millington, TN, 38054-6510."

 

The link to this information is: http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/navy/a/navysports.htm

 

Truth is, my son has learned, there is Rugby to be had at almost any assignment. Being permitted to participate hinges more on the sailor's availability and other obligations. He will be playing with a side in Maryland next season and is anxiously awaiting a good scrum.

 

Again, welcome aboard.

 

Again welcome, and

My son will be looking for a team once he returns from his deployment May/2012 and wanted to know which team provides best opportunities for Navy Rugby players and who could provide guidance on All Navy selection process.

Very nice. I believe we passed through Muddy River on our way to Patrick's PIR a few weeks ago. http://oregonsportsphotos.exposuremanager.com/p/beaverton_vs_pendle... Is a link to a picture of him taking the ball against the Beaverton (OR) Barbarians in 2009 season.
