Our practice filed location has not changed, however the Family Fellowship Church has had a name change.  It is now Grow Point Church.  We want to always give thanks for their kind support in allowing us to use their field for our rugby practices, for their financial, and spiritual support.

After a successful; season Amherst Girls Rugby made it into the Rugby Ohio D2 Semi-Finals as the number 3 seed.  We played Perrysburg HS Saturday May 26th and after a great hard played match by both teams, the Amherst Girls came out with the victory with a final score of Amherst 34 - Perrysburg 12.

​

We  played Mediina HS Girls Rugby who played against Parma Girls Rugby in the other Semi-Final match and won by a score of 34 to 12.  Although the outcome was not what we had hoped it would be, the team played with grit and heart.  The final outcome was Medina 64 - Amherst 14.

The Chronicle-Telegram wrote a great article on the team and published if June 2nd, click the button below to read the article.

Lindsay's Law is about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in youth athletes.  It covers all athletes 19 years or younger who practice for or compete in athletic activities.  Activities may be organized by a school or youth sports organization.

​

Senate Bill 252 is named for national heart health advocate and former Miss Ohio Lindsay Davis who suffers from a heart condition and has since dedicated her career  to raising awareness of this potentially fatal condition.  SCA is the leading cause of death in student athletes 19 years of age or younger.  SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating.  This cuts off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.  SCA is fatal if not treated immediately.

​

Linsay's Law requires both the youth athlete and parent/guardian to acknowledge receipt of information about Sudden Cardiac Arrest by signing a form.  The required handout and signature form will be provided at the upcoming Parent/Player Meeting.  Click on the button below to view the Video  and obtain more information.
