Our Coaching Philosophy

The vision of the coaching staff is to foster a welcoming environment that will promote growth, confidence and empowerment that develops the player on and off the field. On the field we want to provide the team with a high level basics, game IQ and knowledge base that would allow them to reach their rugby goals in HS and future endeavors. We want to create a family environment that will encourage players to support and empower to one another as the competitive team culture strengthens through the process. 

The Penn Girls Rugby coaches are all volunteers. While the club budget includes coach registration and certification for each season, the coaching staff all work full time at other jobs and use our free time to coach and organize the team. Some of the coaches also have additional commitments, such as school, playing in adult leagues, relationships, family, etc. We do our best to deliver high quality and timely communication to players and parents; however, there are times when our outside lives must be made a priority so that we can continue to put our best feet forward for the players.
