Attention Female
High School Rugby
Players and Coaches!
This message is
for those of you who are keen to play university level rugby after graduating
from high school. York University
is actively trying to improve its program through the recruitment of talented
high school and club rugby players. The York team is young and improving and there will be
legitimate opportunity to make the weekly starting 22 selections in your first
year at York
and help share in the success of the program going forward.
We currently
have players from the Saracens, Yoemen, Barbs, Nomads, Beavers, and Balmy Beach
in the York
program. With the incredible depth of
talent in the GTA for women’s rugby I feel that York should be showing better in the OUA
standings. I invite the grade 12
graduates of Toronto area high schools to come to York and show the rest of the
OUA that the best female rugby players in the province play in Toronto.
If you are
interested in playing university rugby at York
please feel free to contact either Joe Costello (

visit http://www.sport.yorku.ca/interuniversity_sport/teams/rugby_w/index.asp
and take a look.
There is also an
opportunity for incoming students to obtain a financial athletic award which will last your 4 years of
university, subject to maintaining a quality academic result.
So if playing
university rugby interests you and playing on a university team where you have
a good chance of getting playing time from year one – I encourage you to choose
York as one of your post secondary choices and keep us in mind.
Any coaches that
feel they currently have OUA caliber rugby players on their teams or are
interested – I would be happy to hear from you to organize either a meeting or
possibly running a practice session with your squad.
