The Tournament is sponsored by White

South Collegiate Men
All Star Camp Details
Gentlemen,
We are excited to welcome the best collegiate
men in the south to the 2008 All-Star camp in Atlanta next week. Please review
the details of the camp, and if you have questions please contact me
immediately. The schedule listed below is not comprehensive and is only meant
to give you an idea of your time in Atlanta. The schedule is subject to change
at any time. Please note that the South All Star team will be selected on
Saturday afternoon. Any player not selected is free to return home. If a
player chooses to stay in Atlanta, they will not be eligible to participate in
any of the team events (dinner, team building, etc.). Players not selected may
stay with the team, but may have to sleep on the floor, as we will only have
enough hotel rooms for the actual team due to budget constraints.
The team concept is paramount so all attendees
(even those from Atlanta) will be required to stay at the team hotel. The
Wingate by Wyndham at 1250 Franklin Road; Marietta, GA 30067 (770) 989-0071
On behalf of Coach Atkinson and Coach Huckaby,
welcome to the 2008 Collegiate Men’s All Star camp.
In conjunction with the Memphis Blues men's tournament Elvis 7's
we will be having a women's division which we are affectionately calling Priscilla
7's. I talked to some of you about this tournament last year, but it was kind of
late in the season. So now you've got plenty of time to plan a trip to the birth-
place of the blues. (yep, I said it)
Have no doubt we will show you a GREAT time! Spots are limited though, so
let me know as soon as possible if you're interested.
All the info you'll need should be up on the website next week, but in the mean=
time here's the url www.memphiswomensru gby.com/priscill a.php
You can contact me at priscilla@memphiswo mensrugby. com or at
901-574-1218 for any further info.
Give me a shout if you plan to make it.
And if you can't attend, please spread the word about the tourney.
Thanks,
Beth Halldorson
