WASHINGTON D.C. YOUTH RUGBY WEATHER ANNOUNCEMENT

Good afternoon Washington Rugby Families,
We are closely monitoring the weather forecast and radar due to the potential for thunderstorms this evening. At this time, practice is still scheduled as planned. We will continue to evaluate conditions throughout the day and will provide updates as needed.

Player safety remains our top priority. If lightning or thunder is observed in the area, all rugby activities will be suspended immediately, and participants will be directed to a safe shelter until conditions are deemed safe to resume.

Due to the expected heat and humidity, we encourage all players to:
Bring a full water bottle (or extra water if possible)
Wear appropriate athletic clothing
Arrive hydrated and ready for practice
Our coaching staff will have additional water available and will provide frequent hydration breaks throughout practice.

Please keep an eye on your email, GroupMe, and team communications for any weather-related updates. If conditions become unsafe, a decision regarding cancellation or postponement will be communicated as early as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to Washington D.C. Youth Rugby. We look forward to seeing everyone on the field and appreciate your flexibility as we navigate the unpredictable summer weather.

Join us as we kick off the summer season! We’ll be practicing from 7:30-9:00 pm tonight, at the Fields at RFK
