Women’s Rugby Clinic

January 28th, 2012
Magnuson Park - Seattle, WA

 Dear PNW Rugby Community, 

The Seattle Breakers and Serevi Rugby are teaming up this January to host a Women’s Rugby Clinic in Seattle! 

The clinic is for high school, college and club players—new and experienced alike. With a large, talented and experienced coaching staff on hand, we will work with each player to bring her up to the next level. 
We are excited to have Mari Therrien, Liz Kirk and Danielle Miller coaching at the clinic:

Last year, we had more than 50 girls turn out for an excellent day of rugby. We look forward to continuing that tradition this year. 

We also invite coaches to attend, so that they can see the drills being taught and transfer those skills back to their practices. The clinic will focus on high-level instruction of rugby basics—a great way to dust off the winter cobwebs and launch your team’s spring season.
The details are below and please see the attached flyer or visit Serevi Rugby for additional information. 
When: January 28, 2012, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
