Happy #PDLWednesday! Did you think we forgot? This week we’re featuring Hope Cooper (she/her), a hooker with the All Blues of the WPL! Today, Hope is reminding us all of the importance of the #ProudlyDifferentLeague: “Women’s+ sports are so important because they are an outlet for individuals to represent themselves in their truest form. I love rugby because it is a sport in which grit and determination are deciding factors in the outcome of a game, and because it truly is a team sport in which every player, staff member, and supporting individuals (fans, partners, community members, etc) are necessary for the game to grow. The time for Women’s+ sports is NOW and it is beyond time for them to take center stage. I love being able to help grow a sport that has given me community and lasting friendships, as well as endless opportunities to learn and grow as a person. I look forward to this era of growth and expansion as we see organizations such as the WNBA thrive and show that the world WANTS to follow Women’s+ Sports, they just need to be provided the opportunity.” And now to bring out the all of our inner theater kids, Hope has a timely question for you: are you an Elphaba or Glinda? Drop your thoughts ?

This #PDLWednesday, we’re celebrating Gianna Solomon, a hooker with the @cograywolves of the WPL! As we head into the holidays, Gianna wants everyone to remember that “women’s rugby provides an incredible space where athletes of all shapes and sizes can dominate the field, and thrive through their own skill, strength, power, and mental fortitude. It’s also a place where lifelong bonds and friendships are forged, completely exceeding the game itself. However, as athletes of all sports, we must continue to challenge societal expectations and break free from outdated ideas of what women’s sports “should look like.” Increasing the visibility of ALL women+ in sport and celebrating the athletes who redefine strength and resilience each day is essential. When we are seen, perceptions of femininity are reshaped, and future generations are inspired to embrace their own potential. We can show that in sport, strength, no matter its form, has a place. Women’s rugby is the way forward.” And now perhaps the most important question of all: Do you hang your toilet paper over or under? #ProudlyDifferentLeague #womensrugby #womenssports #rugby

Mabuhay! It’s another #PDLWednesday with Omi Carrillo (she/her), who plays wing for the @allbluesrugby of the WPL! As a Filipino-American, Omi also plays with the Magandaquins (@magandaquins_7s), a North America-based Filipina heritage team that also serves as a pathway program to the Philippines National Team. As part of the #ProudlyDifferent League, Omi wants everyone to know that “rugby is a powerful tool for connection. It has allowed me to connect with other Filipino rugby players in the diaspora organically and to connect about the shared experience of being raised outside the motherland and the challenges that come with that. Rugby has always been family to me and a place where I can dream, create, express myself and find comfort with people driven by a similar goal. I have a deep and passionate love for my homies and am so happy to play a sport that provides community love that I think is missing in many people’s lives.” One more thing to know about Omi is that her alter ego is named Chett, and yes, they are a frat boy and an absolute menace! Who’s your alter ego and what are they like?

It’s #PDLWednesday with Evie Oglesby (she/her), a prop with the @cograywolves of the WPL. Here in the #ProudlyDifferentLeague, we recognize that our impact extends far beyond the pitch. Evie may be one of the first to play professional women’s+ rugby in the US, and she certainly won’t be the last. “Supporting women’s sports now is essential for the next generation of athletes. Growing up, I always looked up to female athletes and it is incredible how much the stage has grown across so many different women’s sports. I don’t think I would have as much of a passion for playing sports without having role models to look up to, so it is amazing that the exposure has expanded so much in the past few years and I can’t wait to watch as it continues to grow.” Now it’s time to have some fun! Evie wants to know what you’re choosing on a Friday night: movie night ? or game night ??

#PDLWednesday is here again, featuring Sheila Decker (she/they), a lock with the @cograywolves of the WPL! As the 2024 Recruitment Director for the Gray Wolves, she helped the team to back-to-back national championships on and off the pitch. In our #ProudlyDifferentLeague, we celebrate athletes like Sheila everyday who go beyond the game and epitomize the hustle. For change-makers like Sheila, “there is no blueprint for what an athlete should look like. Sport is for everyone; if you have air in your lungs and a goal in your mind then there is a team, event, or competition out there for you and with it a community of people who will support you unconditionally. It’s never too late to learn a new skill or to make new friends.” Your turn! Sheila’s curious whether you’re more of a cat person or dog person? Chime in below ?

This #PDLWednesday, meet OBH (she/they) and Ceara Lafferty (they/she) from the @allbluesrugby of the WPL! OBH plays fullback, and Ceara has been spending time honing their coaching skills while working their way back to the pitch. Ceara and OBH’s story starts off like any good romance: at rival schools on opposite sides of the pitch. But despite the Cal/Stanford rivalry, they both ended up at the All Blues, and now they’re fighting the misconceptions around women’s+ sports together ? “Something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently, especially watching the shift in some of the media coverage and fandom during this year’s landmark WNBA season, is this idea that athletes in women’s+ sports should be grateful for whatever sort of attention we can get. I’m not interested in gaining new fans that aren’t willing to respect our identities as people in addition to our product as players. Growing our game doesn’t require sacrificing inclusivity; I want queer and trans people and people of color to continue to be able to find community here just as I have.” — OBH “In a similar vein, the growth of women’s+ sports is not hindered by athletes being their authentic selves. Despite external pressure to conform to societal expectations, athletes like Diana Taurasi (@dianataurasi), Sha’Carri Richardson (@itsshacarri), Layshia Clarendon (@layshiac), and Quinn (@thequinny5) have brought more eyes to women’s+ sports and encouraged professional leagues to have deeper conversations around gender identity, race, and sexuality to make these spaces more inclusive to all.” — Ceara

WER is extending the player declaration period until October 26th at 8PM EST to allow time for us to announce the head coaches for each market. This decision reflects our continued commitment to building a player-focused league. It is important to us that athletes have as many details as possible on the individual markets to make an informed decision regarding their declaration, and we recognize that coaches are an essential part of fostering a successful team environment. With a robust application and review process, the hiring period has extended beyond our original timeline to accommodate the varying schedules of all relevant stakeholders. We have been incredibly pleased with the volume of highly-qualified applicants for the head coach positions, and we are excited to share more details soon. Keep an eye out for more announcements regarding team coaches in the next week! #womensrugby #rugby #womenssports #professionalrugby

Y’all already know what day it is… it’s #PDLWednesday! This time, we’ve got Jeanna Beard, who plays hooker for the @cograywolves of the WPL. As a member of the #ProudlyDifferentLeague, Jeanna says that “women’s rugby plays a vital role in fostering strong relationships among women by promoting teamwork, empowerment, and shared experiences. Through women’s rugby (and other team sports), women build camaraderie and support networks that transcend competition. Women in rugby are the strongest, most resilient people I know. They encourage collaboration and mutual respect, helping to forge deep connections based on trust and shared goals. Additionally, the visibility of women in sports challenges societal norms and inspires future generations, creating a sense of community and solidarity among women as they advocate for equality, representation, and beyond. Plus, a little bit of rugby friendship magic gets you fun adventures and couches to crash on around the world.” Now, Jeanna wants to know: would you rather have spaghetti fingers or lasagna feet?

As part of the #ProudlyDifferentLeague with @peaudeloup, one thing she wants everyone to know about women’s sports: “Female athletes have endless potential when you invest the same time, space, and energy that’s gone into men’s sports. So much of the perception of femininity in global culture is about beauty. Sport provides a space for women to put value on their bodies that’s unrelated to aesthetics. Value that is rooted in skill, work ethic, physical ability to dominate, and intelligence. Powerful and strong feminine athletes are re-shaping the way that femininity is perceived.” And now it’s time to hear from you!

Unveiling the official Legacy Cup trophy, a striking representation of the evolving state of women’s rugby, embodying both its history and its future. Its unique shape, resembling an unfinished rugby ball, symbolizes the ingoing transition from the amateur to the professional game. This incomplete form highlights both the significant progress has been made and the work still to be done. Designed in a brutalist art style, the trophy mirrors the raw, intense, and physically demanding nature of rugby itself. The minimalistic, industrial aesthetic captures the sport’s inherent toughness and resilience, reflecting the athletes’ strength and determination as they pave the way for future generations in women’s rugby. Created by sculptor @amylroot - who played for over a decade with the Colorado Olde Girls and Glendale Merlins before transitioning to coaching - the trophy, like the Legacy Cup itself, honors the pioneers who built the foundation for this league.

Its unique shape, resembling an unfinished rugby ball, symbolizes the ingoing transition from the amateur to the professional game. This incomplete form highlights both the significant progress has been made and the work still to be done. Designed in a brutalist art style, the trophy mirrors the raw, intense, and physically demanding nature of rugby itself. The minimalistic, industrial aesthetic captures the sport’s inherent toughness and resilience, reflecting the athletes’ strength and determination as they pave the way for future generations in women’s rugby.
