    Hi all,

    I am looking for a club in South Dublin (close to the beacon area if possible :) ). I know the season is winding down but I am thinking now is the best time to get involved.

    Any tips on getting up to speed? I havent played on a team in 6 years or so?

    Thanks!

    beacon area??? Where's that. Plenty of clubs in south Dublin to choose from.
    Where did you play before and at what level and for how long did you play? That'll help with you getting best advice

    Its in Sandyford. I am half way between there and Dundrum.

    I played in Kildare for an under 15/6/7/8 side. And then second team for adults.

    Should note, I am out of shape, just want to get back to the sport I love!

    Thanks for the response!

    Plenty of clubs nearby who will all have sides at junior 4/5(division 8-11) which is perfect for you if all you are interested in is social rugby. Stillorglin, Blackrock and any number of clubs close by - donnybrook....
    If you have played j1/2 you will be fine just contact any club nearby and try go to a training session. Contact clubs on facebook/via their website.

    Old Wesley is nearby Sandyford up in Stepaside. Good coaches who are involved in the Leinster set-up. Doesn't matter if you're out of shape. Any club you go to will set you up with a programme to get fitter.

    Thanks everyone for the input.... Really pumped about getting back into it. Think I will have to put in the long hours this summer! Will be great to smack some bodies next season though :)
