The Women’s Rugby Coaches and Referees Association (WRCRA) is hosting their second annual conference January 17-19 in Atlanta, GA.
Women’s Rugby has been built by generations of women who are unapologetic about who they are and the ways diverse identities contribute to positive team cultures. The 2020 WRCRA Conference will explore this connection between personal identity, team culture and winning. We will provide participants with rich conversation, inspiring presenters and actionable ideas to support the growth of girls and women’s rugby.
I (Wendy) attended the event last year and it was absolutely fantastic. I thought the panels were so incredible, filled with strong women that had valid viewpoints. We made plans for the future of women’s rugby and everyone in the room was included.
The networking events were plentiful and it was so nice to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances.
The TRU urges you register today and support this women in rugby conference, a one-of-a kind experience. If you need assistance, we recommend you fill out the TRU Grant Request form.
Also consider joining the WRCRA to become a formal member of the organization.
