Warsaw helping growth in Indiana(Taken From rugbydirt.com)

Even though the Warsaw rugby boys and girls teams are done playing for the season, the teams continue to build a community with the sport they love to play as the common bond. Warsaw is one of 27 boys and 17 girls high school rugby teams in the state of Indiana. The club welcomes all comers that are willing to commit to the club-level sport and competes in a number of state tournaments, continually feeding the growing number of men’s and women’s collegiate teams in the area. This off-season, the Warsaw group participated in the toys for tot’s delivery, giving back to the community as a team even though they are in between seasons. The team unity in the off-season speaks volumes to the teams’ success during play as both the boys and girls have experienced recent success. The men are 2-1 in three games with their big season coming in the spring and the women finished the fall 2007 season with a daunting 11-1 record including seven shutouts. The women also scored 532 points over their 12 games and allowed only 53 points in that span. In a state like Indiana where starting rugby clubs is an uphill battle to say the least, the Warsaw gang is doing its part to connect with the community and show what an asset the group can be. And with the boy’s season around the corner, the community support for Warsaw looks to only increase through this spring and beyond.
