Summer 7s with NOVA

[rugbybill]

I've encouraged any of you that will be in Northern Virginia or Fredericksburg to play 7s with NOVA this summer. They practice behind T.C. Williams HS. Below is an email from their 7s coach. Her name is Dana Creager and she was one of the coaches here for the clinic with UVA. Her email address is: [e-mail]. I hope many of you take advantage of this great opportunity to really improve your rugby skills.

NOVA 7s,

I am excited to start putting together the NOVA 7s summer schedule and want to get dates out to you guys as soon as possible. I am also very excited to announce that Kristen Campbell (Jailbait) will be my assistant coach this summer. She will be helping with the newer players, all scrum halves and will also help with practice plans and tournament coaching.

Here is the first draft of the summer schedule. Please mark the BOLD* dates down in your calendar. These are the competitive tournaments that we'd like to take our full NOVA 1 and NOVA 2 sides to and use them as a qualfier. I will ask for your availability before the scrimmage/try-outs for the competitive teams.

We will be bringing AT LEAST one side (and up to 3 or 4) to a lot of these tournaments. If you aren't a competitive 7s player and still want to play for fun- don't worry- there will be space for everyone! Mark the dates on your calendar and plan your vacations around the 7s schedule.

May 23- (Wednesday) practice starts!
*May 30th- (Wednesday) Scrimmage to make NOVA 1/NOVA 2 selections
June 2 -
*June 9 - Ruggerama
June 16 - Norfolk (?) or North Penn
*June 23 - PAC 7s (Probably- maybe Washington)
*June 30 - Wilmington, DE
*July 7 - Cape Fear
July 14 - Rocky Gorge (?) or off
*July 21 - MARFU

*Aug 4 - Nationals
