Since late April I have worked on moving us into the California D1A division, however this request was denied by the division teams on June 22nd, citing travel expense concerns.

The other two options were to see if we could join Rocky Mtn D1A or SoCal D1AA Gold Coast Divisions.
The Rocky Mtn commissioner was supportive of the idea but the key limitation is that they are playing all their league games in the fall conflicting with various seven's events we have been attending. There would be no spring league games, we would need to schedule them ourselves with other teams.

After much thought and discussion with the team leaders, we have decided to play in the D1AA division for the next two years. The SoCal D1AA Gold Coast teams confirmed approval for us to join their division yesterday during their annual meeting.

This change will benefit our program:
1. We will be more competitive in the D1AA division
League teams are: Long Beach State, San Diego, Claremont, Loyola Marymount, Southern California and Azusa Pacific.
2. We will be able to grow the program and especially our B-side, as they will play for the B-side trophy within the division too.
3. We will continue to focus on the sevens in the fall with a few friendly fifteens games.
4. This move will increase player safety because of parity with the teams in the division.
5. We will be commuting to the SoCal D1AA division for 2 years with the goal that we will be to moving back to D1A after that.

For any questions, please call Pieter Hugo on 630 287 0632 or email phugo@asurugby.org

Thanks! ... See more
