Your Scrumhalf Connection - Women's Rugby Blog

The Austin Valkyries Women’s Rugby Club is in need of an experienced and motivated coach. Currently, our self-coached team is the reigning champion of the West Division I and is widely regarded as the team to beat. Our enthusiastic and well-trained squad routinely competes against teams from other cities and in national-level tournaments and includes players from all over the United States. Our skill levels range from those who have played for national-level teams to those who are eager to learn a new sport.

We are continuously looking for ways to increase our level of play and recruit high-caliber players and staff to the Valkyries. A passionate and qualified coach who also enjoys having fun would considerably help us improve and expand both our skill level and excitement for the game. Our practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7pm to 9pm at Burnett Middle School, located in north Austin. We would like a coach to begin in late August and help train us through the fall. The position is on a volunteer basis, but the rewards will be immeasurable.

If interested, email a team officer with a resume and letter of intent.

Sincerely,

Austin Valkyries
