Join Alexandria Rugby at the 4th Annual Alexandria Roosters Rugby Gala at the French Embassy in Washington, DC on Saturday, June 9. This annual event is a highlight of the local rugby community calendar with fantastic food, entertainment and cheer. Held each year at the beautiful La Maison Francaise (French Embassy), the gala is a wonderful night out with other rugby enthusiasts. Tickets are just $50 per person in advance ($75 at door).

Alexandria Rugby will once again assist the City of Alexandria Parks and Recreation Department in the management of its summer rugby league. Youth rugby is the fastest growing sport in Alexandria because it is a fun and inclusive sport for both kids and parents. Rugby is a sport where all kids get to run with the ball, all kids get to score and teamwork and good sportsmanship is rewarded. The rugby families in Alexandria have also developed a wonderful social side to the sport that makes the matches fun and exciting for the parents as well.

On March 17th, Alexandria Rugby volunteers braved the elements at O'Connell's Restaurant (jubilant Welsh fans, mainly) to raise money for the Miracle League of Alexandria. Being the last round of our annual 6 Nations Youth Rugby Fundraiser, and having met our targeted fundraising goals for the youth program over the previous four rounds of the tournament, we turned our attention to another very worthy cause in our community.

The Miracle League of Alexandria is a public/private partnership with a unique mission, "to provide an accessible, fun and attractive environment for individuals with special needs and others to enjoy outdoor sports activities." We believe this mission matches well with rugby's proud tradition of ensuring that all who want to play get the chance to play. In rugby we form another side and hold another match to make sure everyone gets to play. The Miracle League is building a state of the art turf field so that all who want to play have the opportunity to play. We're excited to be able to help them achieve this goal.

Alexandria Rugby's annual 6 Nations Youth Program Fundraiser was another Big Success this year. We raised $2500 this year for kids and another $1000 for the Miracle League of Alexandria. Thanks to all the volunteers and all the supporters. It was another great tournament and another great effort by all involved.

The City of Alexandria Department of Parks and Recreation adult touch rugby league's spring season will start in early April. All games take place at Minnie Howard field, 3801 W Braddock Rd, Alexandria VA 22302 from 7-9 pm. More exact details here as we get closer to the season.

Touch rugby is a fun and exciting sport and a great way to get some exercise and meet new people. It is perfect for retired ruggers and new folks interested in trying out the sport.
