Summer is here!
If you follow the Crusaders, you know they rarely put their feet up over the summer months! As soon as our season ends, we get right back to work making sure our fitness levels don't dip over the off-season. Many of our players get themselves into the gym, out on the track, and most importantly meet weekly for a big game of "silly buggers". Summer Buggers is open to all rugby players, or interested players, any age or gender. Check in to our Facebook page "Chilliwack Crusaders Rugby Club" for more information about times and location.
The Crusaders executive with be hosting an Annual General Meeting, May 17th, at the Yarrow Sports Field, after a game of Buggers. On the agenda will be successes and challenges, financial statements, new executive members, and plans for the 2018-2019 season.
The Crusaders are looking for players for a summer Touch Rugby season that will run through July. The team will consist of 12 players, with at least 2 girls, and is age 16+. If you are interested in joining this team, please comment on our Facebook page for details: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2373912665/
Every July, we like to get the Crusaders family out for a Club Day complete with lunch, drinks, kiddie pools, and a slip n slide. Last year, we hosted the nWo Roller Derby girls as a means of fundraising to help with their jersey costs. Who knows who we'll bring out this year. Dates for that event will be posted in the coming weeks!
Of course, our biggest event will come at the end of the summer as we host our 12th Annual Sasquatch 10's Tournament. Every year, this tournament brings out teams from across Canada and the USA. We have welcomed teams from Banff, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Kelowna, Merritt, Seattle, Skagit Valley, Oregon, New Mexico, California, and of course many of our friends from home including Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, SFU, Richmond, and Surrey! Boasted as one of the best social tournaments in British Columbia, the Sasquatch 10's tournament is the epitome of what a social rugby tournament should be about: cheap drinks, new and old friends, 90's pop songs, and some of the best sing-a-longs around. Oh..we also play rugby! For more information, check out our Facebook group "The Chilliwack Crusaders Presents: Sasquatch 10'S 2018" or copy the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/576931729353700/
