Youth Rugby

- Lutherville-Timonium Rec Council (LTRC) is sponsoring Youth Rugby for boys and girls ages 6-19.

- From June through August.

- Rugby is a very fluid and fast-moving game (like soceer), and not nearly as physical as American football. I used to play years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

- The games (or matches) for ages 6-12 are non-contact, two-handed tag. This allows boys and girls to compete together.  For kids 13 and older, there will be age-grade tackle or touch rugby.

- The coaches are very experienced as youth coaches and as players. The intent is to enjoy the game and to play safe.

- Practices will be held at Seminary Park, Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 8pm.

- The matches (games) will be held Saturdays 10am until about 1pm. Home matches are played at Seminary Park and away matches will be posted.

- For details, go to www.ltrc.org/documents/rugby.html

How to do Outdoor Movies:

For the last few years, our street has shown outdoor movies for the kids. We use:

- Portable computer to play the movie

- Laser projector is connected to the computer to project it (new projector costs about $500)

- Computer speakers are hooked to the projector

- Rope is strung between 2 trees. A dark colored tarp is thrown over the rope with a white sheet on top.
