MIDWEST COLLEGIATE MEN'S THUNDERBIRDS - 2008

 

 

 

Program Goals:

 

      Play exciting, open running Rugby  
      Win 2 games at the National All Star Tournament and move up to Tier One  

 

 

 

Produce more Collegiate All Americans

We, the Coaching Staff, asks for all Midwest Coaches to help in the endeavor.  Please let them know your best players.  Send game tapes.  Let your players know about the upcoming Open Tryout schedule.

 

 

If we, as a Territory, can identify our best players, and get them working together we will be able to mirror the success of our Senior Program.
