February 28, 2024 NYU Stern Rugby Update

NYU Stern Rugby and Friends,

Hats off to the contingent that headed up to New Haven this past weekend. A great weekend was had by all. NYU Stern Rugby displayed competitive rugby and finished the day with some nice socializing with Yale Graduate School Rugby and Columbia Business School.

Our next event is this Sunday evening (Sunday, March 3). It will be a training session on the rooftop of Pier 40 and we hope to see you all there!

***As we continue to progress through the semester, we are on the lookout for new club officers to take over for next year. This is incredibly important for the longevity of the club. Specifically, we are looking for a new President and Treasurer. If interested, please contact Collum Magee or Matt Swanson.***

We are an inclusive group of rugby fans and players who seek to build friendships and comradery through the sport of rugby. For awareness, this club is hosted and predominantly organized by MBA students from Stern. Because of this, there are certain events that are MBA or graduate student specific. In addition to playing rugby, we are also big fans of watching the sports. It has been an amazing start to the Guinness Six Nations. As the tournament continues, we will look to host a watch party. Be on the lookout for a date!

Our first match is scheduled to be against Yale Graduate School Rugby. It will also be in New Haven, Connecticut. The date will be Saturday, March 9. If interested, please join the matchday WhatsApp Group. We are hoping that Yale is going to have the necessary numbers but this is the start of their Spring Break. We hope it will work but we will be sure to keep everyone updated.

NYU Stern Rugby and Friends,

The weekly email is a little early this week to try to get some information out faster.

We greatly appreciate all who came out last night for training. We worked on some solid fundamentals and played some exciting touch!

Because of the weather cancelation last weekend, NYU Stern Rugby will travel up to New Haven this weekend (Saturday, February 24 2024) to scrimmage Columbia Business School and Yale Graduate Rugby. Let’s continue to spread the word and let’s continue to build numbers! It is an easy train ride on the Metro North. This will be very friendly and a way for people to shake off the rust. If you are interested in traveling to Yale on February 24, please join the matchday WhatsApp Group. More information concerning logistics will be discussed in there.

NYU Stern Rugby and Friends,

Hey all! Happy Wednesday! First, big congratulations to all the Rugby Violets that played in the historic New York 7s this past weekend. The team won their pool by winning all three of their games.

With the conclusion of the tournament, the NYU Stern Rugby Club will take about a two-month break but resume training February 4, 2024. We hope to build off of our end of season momentum and bring it into next season.

Next season will consist of trainings, fitness/agility seasons, friendly matches, rugby watch parties, and the MBA Rugby Cup. We look forward to having you be part of the journey! More details to come!

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE REACHOUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ANY MERCHANDISE. IT MAKES FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT!
