Women’s 7’s Club Championships!

Another great opportunity here, just like the struggle for the D2 Women’s Rugby to be recognized, a few players are getting together to build a Women’s 7’s Club Championships. The tournament would be in conjunction with the Men’s 7’s Clubs Championships in San Francisco next month. See below for an email from Melissa McKibben about some more details:

Ladies,

I am on a committee working to develop Women 7’s Club Championships. Since I have been unable to get a team from the West to enter this tournament, I wanted to check to see if any of you were interested in entering a motley team in the tournament next month (August 9-10 in San Francisco). Please let me know if you would be interested or willing to commit to such a team (email is below). Currently I have 3-4 Jazz players committed, so I would need at least 6-8 more to even consider entering a side. Let me know as soon as possible is you are available, since they will not be holding this tournament unless at least 8 teams are entered (ideally at least 1 city/club team from each territory). I have listed the teams that have currently committed below. The goal is to have this as a formal USA Rugby sponsored venue next year. If you have other teammates that you know would be interested, please forward them this email. Thanks!

So shoot Melissa an email if you are interested because this is a GREAT idea! Wish I could go, but I already committed to reffing the 7’s TOLA Championships in Shreveport, LA.
