Head Coach
Elon Women's Club Rugby
Hometown: White Rock, BC - Canada // Savannah, GACoach Alley has been immersed in rugby since the mid/late 1990's. She has since hung up her playing boots, but has taken on the role of Coach, Commissioner and Referee, using every platform available to her to further discussions about brain health, athlete wellbeing, and finding purpose when you're time as a player is done. If Coach Alley isn't on the sideline coaching, she is working at the referee table, or running event logistics.
You can pretty much always assume Coach Alley has something rugby related on her plate, and is happy for that opportunity.When asked what she enjoys most about coaching, Alley said:
" I try to let my love of Rugby shine through so that my athletes can take a piece of that on with them into their next endeavor. There are so many lessons we can learn from sport and as educators we are obligated to be the best we can be for our athletes, because we never know when our interactions will be the most positive ones in someone's day.

Head Coach
The Citadel Women's RugbyHometown: Charleston, SC
Coach Amy wears a few hats. She is an US Air Force Reservist, Professor at the Citadel, and an Emergency Medical Services instructor, and Paramedic. She is a pillar in the continued growth of Women's Sport in the South, and a long time proponent of Sport For All.
When Coach Amy isn't busy educating, mentoring and leading, you can find her leaving it all on the pitch. - / /Jesah HaunCoach · Graduate Studies +Life University, GAJesah HaunCoach · Graduate Studies +
"Current student enrolled at Life University, A mother and mentor. I’m recognized for possessing a strong passion for overcoming many obstacles. In my journey, I have found a love for coaching and a desire of continuing the growth of Rugby. I believe in developing athletes. Coaching is not about building a player to fit a system. It’s about creating a system to match your players, by mastering skills and developing self-growth. "
