Alan Osur, coach (2015)

Coach Osur not only started the men's team, but after being rotated away from the Academy and upon his return he completed the full presence of rugby at the Academy by forming and coaching the AFA women's team. His pupils have gone on to play (some at the highest levels), start many a rugby club, and coach thousands of other players at all age groups. His contributions to our Academy are chronicaled in this youtube video: http://youtu.be/Bwvz7Vz0QSo

But Alan's contributions go far beyond the walls of USAFA. He was a player for the Denver Barbos for years beyond what his body could take, was a referee extraordinaire and excelled in the administrative aspects of our game. He was the first USA Rugby's women's collegiate coordinator, a post he held for 5 years, establishing a path that continues to this day.
