[quote=Anonymous]We come from overseas where soccer was played on Saturday and rugby was played on a Sunday. It was encouraged for kids to play both at the younger ages and the kids who played both generally improved not only their fitness but their willingness for physical play. As you can imagine, the rugby kids were not miffed in the least when someone gave them a shoulder or pushed and shoved a bit. At about age 13 though, the kids who really excelled in rugby started to cut back on the soccer (they still played, but started to skip the extra training sessions and optional pick up games). The two leagues in our town had a more or less unspoken agreement not to cross schedules (Sat v. Sun) and they even coordinated their tournaments so when kids traveled to an away soccer tournament there wouldn't be a rugby match that weekend and vice versa. [/quote]
