– Tall Grass –

We we finally arrived to the field, we noticed something that no one hada bit different about the field. The grass was supper tall. So tall, we could not event walk on it. The maintenance guy got the riding mower out and starting cutting the grass. Even though the guy cut the entire field two to three times, the grass was still a bit tall. However, we had already lost about one to two hours so we decided to play.

– The Game –

I can’t remember too much because I am recalling this game eight years after the fact. However, I do remember that it was not only difficult to run due to the thick grass, the grass cut up our skin during rucks and tackles. It is what it is, but it was a different experience for sure. Unfortunately, we lost the game.

– Victory –

Will today finally be the victory we have been looking for? Well, all I can remember after eight years is that the game was an intense battle. When we finally took the lead when the game was almost over. However, each team fought tooth and nail to maintain and or to regain possession of the ball during the last moments of the game in order to win. The final whistle sounded and we won!!! It took everything we had as everyone was completely exhausted, but we managed to get the job done. Victory at last, victory as last.

– The Idea –

Deaf rugby is a project born with the idea of inclusion in mind. Just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t play sports. This will definitely be a different experience for me as I have never played sports with other deaf athletes. The team consisted mostly of soccer players whom have never played rugby before and two very experienced rugby players; me being one of them. Lucky for the team, I am a back player and the other guy is a forward player.

– Mission Statement –

The first ever Chilean Deaf Rugby Team, Cóndores del Silencio, was founded with the objective to promote the inclusion of deaf and hard of hearing athletes.

– Vision Statement –

To be the best deaf rugby players in the country that actively participates in the creation and organization of South American and global championships.
