Hi: I'm actually a member of the London St. George Club. We aren't too early in the season yet -- only three games into a 14 game season, so there's really no reason why you couldn't come out an train with the team and get in some games. We are always looking for new players. They come out at all levels of experience -- we have a couple of internationals who play with the club when there other committments permit, and we have new players with no experience at all. Everyone who practises gets to play. Winter rugby here in Canada is pretty much limited to the indoor touch variety played on a basketball court, and some of our players organize a touch league to that end. Members will also set up squash and racquet ball competitions to help stay fit as well.
