ATTENTION BRAMPTON RFC WOMEN RUGBY PLAYERS ENTERING UNIVERSITY

This message is for those of you who are keen to play university level rugby after graduating

from high school.  York University is actively trying to improve its program through the

recruitment of talented high school and club rugby players.  The York team is young and

improving and there will be plenty of opportunity to make the weekly starting 22 selections

 in your first year at York and help share in the success of the program going forward.

The coaching staff has implemented an new style of rugby that you’ve likely never seen or played before and it makes for a dynamic and exciting season.  It’s a brand of high risk / high reward rugby that gives everyone a chance to contribute.

We currently have two Beavers in the York program.  Courtney Thomas and Emily Pattenick – both have shown well thus far in the season.  I am sure either of them would be happy to answer any questions you may have. 

If you are interested in playing university rugby at York please feel free to contact either Joe Costello (joecost@yorku.ca) or Bob Periard (bperiard@yorku.ca) for more details or visit http://www.sport.yorku.ca/interuniversity_sport/teams/rugby_w/index.asp and take a look.

There is also an opportunity for incoming students to obtain a financial athletic award which will last your 4 years of university, subject to maintaining a quality academic result.

So if playing university rugby interests you and playing on a university team where you have a good chance of getting playing time from year one – I encourage you to choose York as one of your post secondary choices and keep us in mind.

I hope to hear from you.

Regards,

 Joe Costello
