Absolutely — I’d make the CTA more prominent:

🃏🏉 INTRODUCING THE NIAGARA JESTERS — U18 WOMEN’S FALL 7s!

Want to play Fall 7s, but your club isn’t able to field a U18 Women’s team this season?

Come play with the Jesters!

The Niagara Jesters are being created to give NRU club players an opportunity to keep playing, get game time and gain more 7s experience this fall.

⚠️ CLUB COMES FIRST!
If your club IS running a U18 Women’s 7s team, please register and play with your club.

The Jesters are NOT a regional, representative or select side. There are no tryouts and this isn’t about building an all-star team.

It’s simply a team made up of club players whose clubs don’t have the numbers to field their own U18 Women’s 7s team.

Different clubs. One jersey. More rugby. 🏉
