GRR: Life University
On July 1, the women’s team at Life University officially became a varsity program. Big changes lie ahead, not least among them the opportunity to offer more athletic scholarships, but coach Rosalind Chou isn’t rushing the growth of the young program.
Chou is fortunate to have Director of Rugby Dan Payne lending guidance.
The ACRC season is reportedly going to culminate in a clash between the Rugby East champion and Life University.
In January 2014, Life University announced the addition of Women's Rugby as a varsity sport for the 2014-2015 school year. The success of the two men's rugby teams is well-documented, having won national championships in both the undergraduate intercollegiate division, and the men's club division. Adding women's rugby was a natural progression for Life U's expanding athletics department.
Marietta, Ga. – For the fourth year in a row, the boy’s rugby camp at Life University has reached capacity.
Begun in 2010, the Life U rugby camps have been a tool to enhance the rugby skills and knowledge for high school age players; increase the awareness of rugby, especially in the southeast region; and served as a stepping stone for success at the college level.
