HOWLERS NATE SEREVI SELECTED TO USA WOMEN'S SPRING COLLEGATE D1 CHAMPIONSHIP ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM - CONGRATULATIONS AND HOWUUUUU !!
============================================
There was a lot of talent in Pittsburgh last weekend, when eight of the top women’s DI and DII colleges competed for their respective spring championships. As such, we polled the final-four coaches for nominations to an all-tournament team, and then weighed those selections against the recommendations of a national team scout who was identifying players on site.

What emerged is the below 23-player all-star squad that consists of 15 starters and eight reserves (stay tuned for DII). Remember that players weren’t selected on their body of work during the year, but how they performed in two playoff games. Additionally, there was no filling of positional gaps Meaning, a team would normally need more than two locks, for example, on a 23-player squad, but the All-Tournament Team only includes those players whom the coaches and scout nominated.

DI finalists Central Washington and Women’s Cougar Rugby (BYU) have the most representatives with seven apiece, Life has five players, and West Chester four.

Medellin Colombia Rugby Project Initiated By Howlers ' Damon Weigl

4/25/2015

Working with “Mayo Por La Vida”, which in Colombia is the month of May being a celebration of non-violence, I have been presented a tremendous opportunity to grow the sport of rugby throughout Medellin.

Partners in the project at this point are as follows;

Alcaldía de Medellin (City of Medellin)
El ColomboAmericano
Mayo Por La Vida 2015
Liga Antioqueña de Rugby
Dog River Howlers Rugby Club
SKANSKA
TeleMedellin
University of Regina (Social Work Faculty)
Colegio San Ignacio

The project in short will be as follows.

The ColomboAmericano Art Gallery in Medellin, where I am completing my final social work practicum, works in a variety of schools and focuses on creating art metaphors for social problems. The program works in six to eight week cycles in which they single out a social issue, invite a group of local artists to a round-table to develop ideas, then work in eight designated high schools in creating an art exhibits, which will then be displayed in an art gallery in downtown Medellin for a period of 6 to 8 weeks.
My job in these projects has been to act as a social advisor to the artists and students.

The current lab based around non-violence is called “Deporte no es Violencia” (Sports is non-Violent). Outside of North America, when we talk about violence in sports we are talking about violence that happens outside of game. This societal violence is seen in forms fan violence and violence towards players and officials.

Anyway, in addition to the art lab the City of Medellin has funded us for a rugby project. Having spoke with them about the values and culture of rugby they suggested a tournament at the end of May with students from the 8 schools.

The fund has allowed for the hiring of several of the Colombia national players, including cap Howler, Juan Manuel Diosa, as coaches in the project.

Week one was a lot of fun; hopefully we can continue to grow something special.

Thanks to all the Howlers who have helped us gain this momentum.
