This spring the team is competing in the Beast of the East tournament in Rhode Island, and this will be their second year competing in the tournament. The Beast of the East Tournament is the premier tournament for collegiate rugby, where St. Michael's will compete with 64 other schools around the east, Pushkarewicz says. In the fall, the team has five set games where they compete against teams in their conference including Middlebury, Keene State, and the University of Vermont. Practices are set up to correspond with the schedules of the majority of the players, and are currently held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4 p.m. There are no try-outs.
People can join just by showing up to practices.
Students can find out about the practices from people on the team, flyers around campus, and mass e-mails. The club's officers are elected after the fall season by secret ballot for the offices of President, Vice President, Forward Captain, Back Captain, Treasurer, Social Director, and Match Secretary.
