This may be a late question, considering I'm headed to San Fransisco Embarcadero YMCA-Quad Rugby pick up games July 10, 2010 12:30-4:00 p.m. :wheelchair:

Hoping for any kind of advice, concerning the game, what to bring and what to prepare for? Keep in mind all I know is what I've learned from the movie Murderball and paralympicsports.tv< Up to date para. and quad sports. I've never been to a live QR game. Any insight would be great.
