Coach Needed

This email was passed along to the Girls Coaching Community, but I thought
it would be a good idea to give it the widest circulation possible:

I am the manager for the North Shore Highlanders girls rugby team in Mequon. I am in urgent need of a coach. We have a pretty talented team, with a lot of underclassmen for players. This means that next year we can have a powerhouse of
a team. Only problem is I an in need of coaching. Our coach right now can't continue, new job responsibilities make it impossible for her to coach.

We currently have 17-20 players on the team roster. We are a combination of
players from Mequon, Cedarburg, Whitefish Bay. We practice Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays at Kletche Park in Glendale. We only have two games left in our season, then we start our playoffs. The playoff run through the month of October, with the Final on October 28th.

For the past two years we have travelled to Fullerton California in March to participate in an international tournament (they have teams from Canada). Last
year we took home the tournament trophy. I have been with this team for 6 years. I do all the planning, paying, and purchasing, etc etc. I really don't want to see this team fall apart, but without coaching there isn't anything I can do.

Please let me know if you are interested in helping with the team. You can call me at home after 7:00 pm - #262-242-5120.
Thank you
Paula Luft
NorthShore Highlanders -
Manager


The Northshore Highlanders are one of our oldest clubs with a long and storied past. Aside from the accomplishments listed above, they placed 3rd at Nationals in a year when DSHA finished 5th. Let's not let that club go without a coach. Please pass this along to anyone who might be interested

Opening Weekend...

Last weekend was the season opener for Wisconsin Girls Rugby in the first season of having 2 pools. Pool A consists of DSHA-A side; North Shore; Kettle Moraine; Muskego and Catholic Memorial. Pool B consists of Vernon; Brookfield; Oak Creek; Fond du Lac and DSHA-B. Teams are seated in the pools based on standings from last Fall. The season consists of a 5 week regular season where teams play each team within thier pool and one cross-conference match. Only matches against pool opponents count toward pool rankings. Teams earn 4 points for a win; 2 points for a tie; 1 bonus point for scoring 4 or more tries; and 1 bonus point for losing by less than 7 points. Following the 5 week pool play, teams are slotted into brackets for a 3 week play off, culminating in the state finals on Oct. 28 at Nagawaukee Park in Delafield where all teams will compete for the final state rankings.

So, after week one of pool play the results are as follows:

Pool A:
DSHA-A (1-0) vs. Muskego 59-0 (0-1) (5pts for pool standings)
KM (0-1) v. Northshore (1-0) 14-32 (5pts for pool standings)

Pool B:

DS-B (0-1) v. Vernon 5-25 (1-0) (0 pts. for conference standings--per the rules)
FDL (0-1) v. Brookfield 10-53 (1-0) (5pts. for conference standings for technical forfeit)


Non-Conference Matches:

CMH (1-0) v. Oak Creek 33-0 (0-1) (0 pts for conference standings)


Current Standings:

Conference A: DS and NS are tied for 1st(5pts. each) with a 3 way tie for second (CMH, Musk. and KM).
Conference B: Brookfield is #1 in it's conference -- since no one else has played a conference match with a 4-way tie for 2nd place
