Practice Week and Phase 4 of USA Rugby's Return To Play

Lake County RFC successfully concluded its first week of practice. We were happy to see so many new and old faces, as we're slowly returning to the game. This week, Chicago Area Rugby Football Union has announced that we have been cleared for limited contact practice, as outlined in USA Rugby's Return to Play guidelines. We are scheduled for practice Tuesday, June 30th and Thursday, July 2nd at 7 PM. Practice will be held at Hutchins Athletic Field, 36753 N. Hutchins Rd. in Gurnee.

The health and safety of our players, coaches, and fans alike are of the upmost importance to us. In order to participate at practice, players must complete World Rugby's Player Welfare Awareness Course. Players who do not complete the course will not be able to participate in team activities. We're also continuing to work with CARFU as well as USA Rugby in order to keep up with the latest on developments in regards to matches, practices, and all other aspects affected by the COVID situation.
