RUGBY IN THE 2016 OLYMPICS!
The global Rugby family are celebrating the announcement that Rugby Sevens will be included at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. An overwhelming vote in favour of inclusion by the International Olympic Committee members at the 121st Session in Copenhagen means that the world's top men's and women's Rugby players will have the opportunity to compete for an Olympic Gold medal, the pinnacle of sporting achievement. Bernard Lapasset, President of the International Rugby Board, said: "This is a historic moment for our sport and for the global Rugby community, who were united in support of our campaign." "We are excited and honoured to be joining the Olympic Games and I would like to thank the IOC members for believing in our Olympic vision and our values and recognising that Rugby Sevens is a perfect fit for the Olympic Games." "The Olympic Games will be the pinnacle of the sport for all our athletes and the Rugby family. The best men's and women's players in the world are excited to be able to showcase their talent on the world's greatest sporting stage." "We are now looking forward to working in partnership with the IOC to develop and implement a Rugby Sevens tournament in Rio that will reach out to new audiences and inspire a new generation of sports fans around the world," added Lapasse.
Host Your Own Rugby Birthday Party!
LIMBURG BIRTHDAY PARTY - 06/05/2009
LARA donated a "Rugby Party for 15 Kids" to the Blue Ribbon Gala, a fundraising event for a local school here in the South Bay. The Limburg Family was the successful high bidders of our party. Their son Louis invited 18 of his classmates and closest friends. Together we spent four hours in a local park teaching the boys the basics of Rugby, playing Rugby games that concentrate on specific skills (ever heard of Rugby Baseball?) and of course the basics of safe tackling (the boys are always very eager to get to this part!)
