Hi Everyone!

Coaches & Team Leaders – please forward to all your players who attended.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the tryouts. We had a great turnout and great rugby even with the cold weather.

Please let me or Wendy know if you have any questions or need drill ideas or things to work on. All the coaches were very impressed with your skills and energy at tryouts.

The following players are invited to our warm-up weekend in Austin Saturday & Sunday February 27th & 28th.

We will have a team dinner/chalk talk on Saturday evening and then we will have a scrimmage against the Austin Valkyries. More details and times to come.

Please respond to me asap so I know if you can make the warm-up weekend. I also need a confirmation if you are available the weekend of March 6th for the LAU Tournament in Austin.

Congratulations to all!!

Traci Schmidtke
Head Coach
TRU Uwe All-Stars
