NCR and Rugbee.co are pleased to announce Courtney Morris as April’s Coach of the Month. Morris is the head coach of Coastal Carolina Women’s Rugby. She started coaching the team in 2022.
Starting her rugby career at Clemson University in 2016, Morris quickly stood out on the field, earning a spot on the All Tournament Team of the CRCs in 2018 and representing Carolina Women’s Select Side and USA South. A scholarship to Life University in 2019 allowed her to learn from top coaches in the country.
Since becoming head coach, Morris has led Coastal Carolina to regional and national qualifications in both 15s and 7s formats. Under her guidance, the team has produced three All Americans and three U23 South Regional players.
The effort of Morris hasn’t gone unnoticed by her team either, “Courtney has helped to open the school gym earlier for team lifts to improve strength and safe room sessions where teammates can share their struggles and victories to improve support among teammates and mental health of players. She has also encouraged players to join in study groups with fellow players to achieve academic success.”
Morris is actively committed to growing the Coastal Carolina program by participating in youth camps and recruiting events. The team has their first recruit joining them in the fall.
