Field Planting Day – Help Us Prepare Our New Rugby Space!

Memphis Inner City Rugby (MICR) is hosting a volunteer planting day to help prepare our new rugby field ahead of its grand opening in late June. We’re looking for volunteers to join us for a morning of outdoor service as we dig, prep, and get the space ready for shrubs and small trees.

Volunteers will assist with:

• Digging planting holes
• Preparing soil and planting areas
• Placing shrubs and small trees
• General field beautification and light outdoor work

No prior experience is necessary — just a willingness to help and work outdoors. This is a great opportunity to support a space that will serve students and the broader community for years to come.

Date & Time
Thursday, May 28th

Multiple Shifts Available!
Shift 1: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Shift 2: 12:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Shift 3: 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM

What to Expect

• Outdoor work on a field surface
• Light to moderate physical activity (digging, lifting, moving materials)
• All skill levels welcome

What to Bring

• Closed-toe shoes
• Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dirty
• Water bottle
• Work gloves (optional, if you have them)

This is a one-time volunteer opportunity and a great way to be part of building MICR’s new home ahead of its grand opening. Volunteers are welcome to stay for the full time or join for part of the day.
