Salem Rugby Field Improvements!
Donation protected
Our rugby club is in need of some field improvements! The City of Keizer has generously allowed us to make the needed field improvements to Claggett Creek Park, which we have used as our home field for the last 5 years. We are in desperate need of a new set of goal posts and post pads to improve the safety for our players. Furthermore, the City of Keizer is letting us have storage on site which will save the team a lot of hassle. This means we also need to buy a storage container.
The game of rugby teaches decision making, strategy, and leadership. Rugby builds character and a good work ethic for our youth teams through teamwork, communication and good sportsmanship. Women's rugby is uniquely empowering because it's a place where all body types are assets and women's strength is celebrated. There is a sense of camaraderie that is unique to the sport of rugby- not often will you hear about other sports where on the field an opponent compliments a player for their tackle. After every match the home team hosts the away team and many friendships are built off the pitch.
Please support this important and necessary project to benefit all of our rugby teams!
