Kudos again to all the coaches for their efforts this season.

It was an excellent introduction to Rugby for Trevor and he has really
become a fan of the sport, as have I.

Thanks much,

Scott Miller

Hi Chris,

I think we're all a little put out by these last minute restrictions.
But I hope we can get all the teams together for Sunday. If everyone
hasn't been able to register, then we'll need to see if the organizers
will go ahead and let the kids play anyway, or try to rejig their
schedules at the last minute. My guess is that there will be a consensus
for playing.

To all:

Bob said we were CIPP as a club not individuals. This is a much better
way of doing it. CIPP is a way of enriching the USARFU. This is supposed
to be an enjoyable end of the season tournament not a rigid exercise in
bureaucracy. If we are CIPP as a club then surely a list of players will
suffice.

I would understand requiring CIPP for all players if a competition lead
to a regional, state or national championship. This isn't. It's a
loosely organized, end-of-the-season youth tournament which is supposed
to be fun. The people that are "organizing" this event have decided to
dictate the size of competing teams to accommodate they're own clubs.
We've been playing 10-a-side all season and now we're forced to play
8-a-side rugby. The Seahawk U-10's has more than 30 players. Now, out of
the blue, they're thrown this individual CIPP thing on us for nothing
more than an end of season competition which leads to nothing.

As many of you are aware, I am affiliated official with the Northern
California Referee Society and I asked NCRFU Referee President, Dr.
Bruce Carter if any referees had been allocated to this event. He didn't
even know anything about it.

At this stage I can not guarantee if any of the 16 Seahawk players from
Lexington Elementary will be turning up to this shambles of an event if
the "organizers" continue to make unreasonable demands so close to the
actual event. It's an hour plus drive both ways to play from 10:00 a.m.
to noon.

I will send an individual email to my group see what they want to do.

Having ranted on long enough, I would like to congratulate the efforts
of Norm, Bob, Dick, Steve and others from our club for doing a good job
keeping us in tact all season. The same can't be said for the idiots
that are ruining this disorganized end of season event.

Chris

(Sorry for any duplication; I am having email issues)

Silicon Valley parents:

For the tournament this weekend every player needs proof of CIPP
registration and potentially proof of age. All players participating in
USA Rugby events need CIPP registration for insurance purposes.
Attached are instructions on how to CIPP your player. Please make sure
the players are CIPPed and that you bring the CIPP number (print it
out). It will be checked!

Additionally, any player at the tournament can be challenged for
proof of age if the opposing coach has any doubts. If you think the
player might be above the normal size range, please bring a birth
certificate.

If you have any questions, problems feel free to email me at
norm@...

Norm


Forwarding this on behalf of Norm. It doesn't seem possible to attach
the instructions to mail sent to the yahoogroup. The document is
CIPPInstructions.pdf at
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/seahawkyouth/files/

Briefly: go to www/usarugby.org <http://usarugby.org/> .
Click on register here to create/renew membership. Follow the
instructions. For team type in "San Jose Seahawk Minis (Club)".
Registration costs $10. Fuller instructions are in the pdf file
