USA WNT and Serevi Clinic August 10th at Infinity Park

Let's see if we can get a group for both the clinic and for the Nations Cups games - what a great chance to see to USA Women's National Team in action!

From Hannah Stolba - a GREAT Opportunity
 

Hey all,

A bit of promotion here for the teams in our area.  The USA Nations Cup 3rd place and final games are coming up in Glendale here on August 10th.  I will be running a Serevi skills clinic before the games and would love it if we could get a good showing of PMRC girls at the camp.  Its two hours long and the girls get admission to the game along with the clinic fee.  We would like to get a good showing for the games in Glendale and we are lucky to be playing games on our own turf.  Please take a look and pass this on to any of your girls that live in the area or just really love USA Rugby and will be attending the matches.  Its a good little clinic to kick off the fall season.  If anyone has issues with the camp fee please let me know and we can talk to Serevi about it.  I would look forward to seeing girls I know and would love to work on helping our conference become a power house step by step.
