QWRL State Coaching Applications Called

The Queensland Women's Rugby League is calling for applications from interested coaches for the State coaching job

The Queensland Women's Rugby League is calling for applications from interested coaches for the State coaching job after existing & successful Coach Karen Stuarts 2 year stint at the helm ended last month. Stuart has been encouraged to reapply for the State job after successfully being reappointed to the Brisbane Coaching position earlier this month for the 2008 season.

The State job will include fixtures such as the annual Nellie Doherty Cup interstate match against New South Wales with hopes of securing a curtain raiser with the Gold Coast Titans or the North Queensland Cowboys. The QLD Brolgas remain titleholders after defeating the Blues at CUA stadium, Penrith in August. The successful applicant will also be required to attend Selection Trials for the State team which will include the State Championships held on the May long weekend and the National Titles over the June long weekend.

With next years third Women's Rugby League World Cup being staged at Kawana Waters the QWRL is desperate to continue its highly successful representative program which includes an undefeated Queensland Brolgas team since 1999 as well as its regions producing strong success across the state including Brisbane's successful win over Sydney in the 2007 National Titles and Cairns climb into the representative arena.

Applicants will require a minimum Level 2 ARL Coaching certificate and Bluecard at the time of submitting their applications.

Applications can be forwarded via email to the Secretary, qldwrl@ozonline.com.au, fax: 07 3812 1757. Applications close on the 9th November. For further information contact Veronica on 0430 172 987
