Fossils

The Fossils are the Chicago Blaze Rugby Club's Old Boys team. The team is open to any ex-Blaze player over the age of 35. We also welcome any Old Boys new to the area to join us. True to Old Boys style, we do not train, we just show up on game day (hopefully before kickoff), scrape the crusted dirt and mud off the boots, wash the cobwebs out of the mouth guard, assemble a starting 15, run some out-dated plays that used to work in our prime and we're ready to go. Old Boys games can range anywhere from 15-30 minute halves and one of the best features is the unlimited substitutions. So whatever your age or your physical ability, you can always get a run, whether its for 5 minutes or the full game. Of course the best part of being a Fossil is the continuation of the friendships we've made in the past and the new friends of the future. There's camaraderie of a sport that has no borders.  

The Fossils try to maintain a two game spring and a two game autumn schedule usually to coincide with the Blaze schedule. We have annual dues of $100 which includes new Fossil memorabilia for that year.
