Sometimes the entire team will practice together, and sometimes the forwards and backs will practice separately. In addition, groups will often form to do weight training together outside of the regular practice times. Practices are usually held on campus, either on Halas Field or in the Halas or Skyscraper Gyms. The matches are held on saturdays, usually late in the morning or early in the afternoon. Home matches are held at Misercordia Field or at Rogers Park.
Away matches are at the hosting university.
In addition we play teams from the Illinois Rugby Union such as the University of Illinois at Urbana , Eastern Illinois University , and Western Illinois University . We also have participated in collegiate tournaments hosted by Marquette University and the Chicago Women's Rugby Club . There is a national post season tournament for which the team may also qualify. There are also other opportunities for individual players. There is also a Midwestern select team that plays other regional select teams from the US and Canada.
