CAL WOMEN’S RUGBY CAMP FOR GIRLS 2010

Dear Parents,

The Cal Women’s Rugby team camp emphasizes safety and fun, while coaching good rugby skills, basic tactics, and teamwork. Our coaches bring with them the latest rugby skills, teaching methods, and tactics from the collegiate, all-star, and international women’s rugby game. We will also teach your daughters about college preparation, nutrition, sports psychology, and weightlifting.

Campers will participate in a variety of rugby games and activities that promote teamwork and communication while teaching rugby fundamentals.
Join us this summer to experience rugby for girls at Cal.
