Thank You!  
First—thank you to all our parents for your contributions to the RedHawks program, including entrusting your son or daughter with us this season.  Without the help of our volunteer parents and coaches, the RedHawks wouldn’t exist.  We always need more help so if you would like to help coach, fundraise, recruit, etc.—please contact any one of us or Jeannien Engelbrecht or Denise Travis.

Season Schedule. 
We have begun adding the season schedule and events onto the Google calendar on our website www.redhakwsrugby.com.   Some of the matches on the calendar are still hold dates since we are waiting on the final league schedule for all of the age groups. To help you plan as best you can while the season schedule is being finalized, we included the dates proposed in the most recent draft league schedule.  If anything changes, we will update the Google calendar promptly with the final information.  We assume all league schedules will be finalized sometime this month. If anyone has questions, please reach out to Andy Thomas or your son or daughter’s coach. Once the league schedule is finalized, we will also add the scheduled events to the Sports Signup Play App so that it mirrors the google calendar on our website.

​Broughton High School Capitals Rugby Game Saturday January 11 at 1 p.m. at  Peter Hines Williams Stadium.
The Broughton High School Rugby Team, which includes many Redhawks’ players, plays this Saturday at 1 p.m. against Langtree from Charlotte.  If you have time, come on out and cheer on the boys!  Many of our coaches will be there (and some aren’t coaching the Broughton team and they will be happy to watch the game with your son or daughter and point out what they see via sort of a Q&A. So this could be a great team building and learning experience for our RedHawks who aren’t playing! 
Here is a link to directions: https://goo.gl/maps/UMVvEqeSJc36LLce670F
 (The Capitals play in the Single High School league, which runs separately and prior to the club league that in which the RedHawks compete).


Best,
