LOOKING TO GIVE BACK? JOIN US FOR A QUINS CONNECT:
My name is Corinne Heavner and I am a D1 manager currently and have been a member of the Quins since 2018.
I am reaching out to ask for some assistance. As you know, the Atlanta Harlequins have been a pillar of women's rugby in the South for over 40 years now. It took a lot of you to make this club what it is today, and to create the space that we have a privilege to play in. I am a very proud member of this team and have you all to thank for that! I am asking if alumni would be willing to come talk to the team in person, on video chat, send video messages or a written letter to the current players. My intention is to give faces and experience to the mindset that I preach to the players. I ask them to respect the jersey and respect the players who came before us by giving everything you have to to give to this team. I truly believe that hearing your stories will be the motivation the team needs to thrive in our upcoming season.
We are a generally young and inexperienced team, whether that be in rugby in general or as a member of the Quins. A lot of the players are not aware of the long and proud history of this club and the blood, sweat and tears that got us here today. I personally would love to get to know you all more and hear your experiences if you have played for the Quins at a time like we are now. We have the numbers to thrive but we are working on building an elite culture which is difficult to conceptualize as a younger team, since we don't get “paid” and we are asking for such a huge commitment. I am trying to get the point across that we do this for the love of the sport, the love of our club, and our love for each other!
I truly hope I hear back from some of you. Please know you are always welcome at practices and of course we hope to see you all at our home games this upcoming season.
Looking Forward,
Corinne Heavner
