Hey Panther Nation!

Hope you all had a fantastic summer and are all ready for another year of great rugby. We’ve got a bunch of things going on this year which should make things exciting including a fall U12/U14 (and maybe U10 season) as well as a fall girls U15/HS season (go Bobcats!).

Also please make sure that your email program isn’t sending email from @panthersyouthrugby.com to your junk mail.

Posters

We want you to share your love of the Panthers far and wide.
Here is a recruiting poster (8.5 x 11) for you to print.
For every selfie that you send me (dave@panthersyouthrugby.com) of a poster put up somewhere you get an entry for a prize drawing. Here’s the rules:
  1. You MUST have permission to place the poster. Please do not put up posters illegally. I do not want to have to deal with people angry about our posters. Please do not assume that you can put something up without asking for permission unless it is obviously a public place to post things (like a coffee shop bulletin board that allows public postings). For example: in most cities it is illegal to put posters up on lampposts or buildings.
  2. The poster has to stay up. You can’t put a poster up, take a selfie, and then take it down. The point is for people to see it 🙂
  3. Please do not cover other people’s postings.
  4. In general, if you think someone may get upset about you posting it, please do not post it.
  5. Please include your face and the poster in the selfie and include the location.
  6. First person to a location wins. Please don’t put up another poster if there is one already there.

Here’s an example selfie to encourage you. You too can be as cool as this guy:


I think that’s it for now. Looking forward to seeing you all at the pitch. Go Panthers!
