<br />
It highlights the great spirit of rugby and the accepting nature of the game for all types of individuals.<br />
<br />
Tania Santos, co-coach of the high school girl's and women's rugby teams, says, "Women of all sizes of body shapes, speed, and agility are needed for rugby. I want women to know rugby is an option here. Let me teach you the most challenging and empowering sport ever!"<br />
<br />
And the author of the article, Brook Felger, says of TBBRC, "...the rugby club is the most fun and loyal group of people I have met since moving to town."<br />
<br />
<br />
So yes, rugby is for everyone, and we'd love to see more of you out there!<br />

This past weekend, the Traverse City Girls' high school rugby team won their first game in over two years. They traveled to Berkley High School short on numbers, but with the help of a couple of substitutes from Berkley, the Blues came away with the victory 43 to 21.<br />

With the wind in their sails, the young Lady Blues are looking forward to more wins as the season goes. They are always looking for new recruits. No experience necessary - just a good attitude and we'll teach you the ropes. If you or someone you know would like to join, call Coach Tania Santos 231-878-4787</div>

And unlike previous years, the season will not continue into the spring of 2018. But we are proud of all the Blues that participated and look forward to next fall!<br />
<br />
So the final matches...<br />
<br />
On Friday, the 13th, no less, the Women's team beat the Calvin College youngsters at home 41 to 39 with Tania Santos taking Goddess of the Pitch. (Even with jet lag after traveling from China the day before!)<br />

Last Saturday, the Lady Blues played WMU in Kalamazoo. Joined with the Lady Blues were two players from GR and some volunteers from the WMU team so they could play a full 15 a side. The Lady Blues took the win again at 47 to 0. Well done, ladies! Would have loved to seen that match.<br />

Unfortunately, the Men's team lost their last game to the Tradesman at home. (I forgot to get the final score!), but they played a good game of rugby. There were some hard calls against them and two of the Blues were out in the sin bin for ten minutes (a lengthy ten minutes, me thinks!)<br />

<br />
The Lady Blues kicked off the double header against the women's Toledo team at 1pm and came through with a 33 - 22 victory! Congrats, ladies!<br />

Unfortunately, the Men's team didn't come through with a win of their own, but they were up against the strongest team of our division. 5 - 69 to Toledo. But the spirit is still there! We'll get it next time.<br />

With the unseasonably warm weather, both the mens' and women's Blues teams will start practice outdoors at the Traverse City Civic Center (see map below). Thanks Austin for arranging it!<br />
<br />
Both teams are recruiting new members (no experience necessary), so if you are interested, you can always show up at the Civic Center tonight, February 23rd for practice at 6pm!<br />

Rugby for 2016 is coming to a close and I know I'll be having rugby withdrawals. But there is still time to make it out there to see a few games. Come out and support the teams!<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Men's Blues</h3>
<div>
The men's team are playing away Saturday, October 29th at 1pm against the Tri-City Barbarians. They are going to be gagging for a victory after their loss last week to the Detroit Cobras. The Blues still played well against the once Division II team relegated last year, but in the end lost to the dominant team.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Women's Blues</h3>
<div>
The women's team will be playing against CMU on Sunday, November 6th and again at MSU at 2pm and Saturday November 12th at MSU at 1pm. This is the first year for our women's team and couldn't be prouder of our Lady Blues. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Girl's High School</h3>
<div>
High school girl's rugby team have playoffs this Sunday in Rockford. First game is at 11am, second game at 1:30. They are currently ranked 5th in their division and have gone above and beyond this year in growth and technique. We would love to see you there.<br />
