We are a Div I, MARFU team.
We were founded in 1995. From 98-2008 we have been in the final four 6 times and in the top ten for the last ten years.
In the past 4 years we have traveled to the final fours in Stanford three out of the four. We continue to have many All-American players, and are a very fit, strong, skilled team.
Schools starts the third week of August. First game is scheduled for the second weekend in September. Practice goes from 4pm -6/630 pm, typically Monday-Thursday (sometimes Friday)
We have an outdoor pitch and equipment. The lined pitch is shared with the men’s team, but there is other field space right next to it we switch off using for practice (so fields aren’t an issue). There are assistant coaches, but their attendance is not daily for practice. They can be contacted for more information as well
Team of 30-50 girls. We usually have a big rookie attendance (about 30-40 typically show initial interest) but the team size gets down to about 40-45 later in the season.
We play qualifiers in the Fall, championship season in the Spring. Here is our website where we have information from the last year’s team, including schedule, game results, and contact information (though it has not yet been updated for this next season) http://www.usna.edu/WomensRugby/
There is a salary paid by the United States Naval Academy (contact one of the below for details)
We are allotted an annual budget of about 20,000 dollars, we are a self managed/self administered team (players, not an outside staff, run the team with the coach).
Contact info:
Team President- Sarah Taylor
Vice President- Mariane Sparklin
Old Head Coach- Sue Parker
There is a great support network in the area, all the girls are a captive audience because we live on campus meaning there is 100% attendance at practice (besides being sick), and for the fall season you will have a few grads in the area that can help with practices and as coaches.
My contact info is: Breanna Strand. I played for four years as a back and a forward and will be around till mid October to help.
Thanks for helping to put this out there!
If you have any tips for Breanna or the NAVY girls, leave it in the comments or send me an email at yourscrumhalfconnection@gmail.com!
