Just to give you a quick update of our club. Were struggling a little but we
have alot of
talent this year. Were hoping to return to playoff qualification again this
year. We have a
new coach Tim Wilkinson who has been with the club for 2 years now, who is from
Australia and is a very knowledgeable coach. Were going to the Pac 10 Tournament
in
January and are looking to improve on our 5th place finish from last years
tournament. We
slowly improved every year weve been to the tournament finishing 9th in 2006,
7th in
2007 and 5th last year. This year we hope to finish in the top 3 in in 2009.

We have one player currently on the U-19 National Team in freshman Bobby
Mulvaney, a
prop. And this winter break Bobby will be attending the tryouts for the U-20
National
Team. We also have another very talented senior Joji Kurosaki, who will be a
member of
the 2009 US Maccabi national team, who will be in the 2009 Jewish Olympics in
Jerusalem
this summer.

Just a quick rundown and update of our team. We would love to see you all out at
some of
our games of our alumni game this spring. Ill send out a update to when the game
will be
in the coming weeks. Thanks again for your support of the club.
