Those that are interested a group is getting together Saturday August 14th to run a 5k in Orlando.

Location

Orlando Science Center

Loch Haven Park, Orlando, FL

777 East Princeton Street

Orlando, FL 32803

You can find more information about the race on website www.trackshack.com. Let me know if you are interested, so we can meet up as a group.

The women will play their first home game September 11th. Please mark your calendar and come out an support our club.

And we are going to try to accomplish that without asking for any money from anyone. All we are asking from you is your daily vote in August.

The USRFF will be submitting a proposal called A Ball 4 All to the Pepsi Refresh Project on August 1. We are seeking their top dollar award of $250,000 and will be successful if we are one of the top two vote getters in that category at the end of the day on Tuesday, August 31. I’m sure we will be up against some very stiff competition so we are asking all of you and all of your players, teammates and friends for their help. Each person will have the opportunity to vote one time per day.

If we are fortunate enough to win the $250,000, every cent of that award will be used towards the purchase of 30,000 rugby balls.

How much better would our young rugby players be if they all had a rugby ball to call their own? How many more kids would be introduced to the sport if they saw their friends tossing around a rugby ball in the yard or park? If our rugby youth had their own rugby balls they wouldn’t have to wait for the next training session to get their hands on one to pass or kick around. If they had their own ball they would be able to pick it up and practice their skills anytime they wanted.

The Rugby Foundation will be sending out frequent reminders to those already in our database. We will also be sending out reminders to those on our Facebook and Twitter accounts. Please be patient during the month of August when you receive your reminders. By the end of the month you may never want to see another email from me but please take a few minutes to read the  reminders and cast your vote for A Ball 4 All. To keep those reminders fresh, we will be featuring testimonials from many current and former US Eagles players and coaches as well as current and former internationals.

Here’s your chance to help grow the sport in the US without making a financial obligation. In addition to all of the wonderful attributes that rugby provides today’s youth like leadership, sacrifice, commitment, and teamwork, many of today’s high school players could very well be on our 2016 and 2020 US Olympic Rugby teams and future Rugby World Cup teams.

Please help us be one of the top two vote getters by forwarding this email to all your players, teammates and club mates as we will need the entire US Rugby Community’s support to be successful. Individuals can also sign up to receive our electronic newsletters by clicking here.

I thank you in advance for your support of youth and high school rugby.

Thank you for your time. Look forward to seeing everyone at the social June 4th. Please remember to work on securing sponsors and players for the golf tournament June 5th.

Rookie Leigh Souter scored one try while Sara Burhans scored a total of two tries. Sally Lanigan played a defensive and aggressive game providing assistance for at least three of the tries. Danielle Brown paid us a visit scoring 3 tries throughout the game.  Kelly Bober received almost every single kick throughout the game and got into every rock imaginable.  The games injuries were several but minimal.

The Orlando Women beat the Jacksonville sinners 58 – 0.

The women will be traveling to Savannah this weekend to defend their title for the St. Patrick’s Day Tournament
