Ms. Pinnell was born and raised in Fallbrook.  She played a variety of sports growing up including softball, soccer, and gymnastics.  In high school she played field hockey for four years, two of which were on the varsity team.  In 1992 her varsity team won the league championship.  She graduated from Fallbrook High School in 1994.

Ms. Pinnell met her husband, Craig, in 1997 and in 1998 she moved to South Africa to live with his family for a year.  While there, Craig taught her to understand the game of Rugby, it's laws, tactics, and players.  She remembers fondly the first games she watched on television; the Springboks playing the Tri-Nations tournament.  She and Craig moved back to the USA in 1999 and two years later they were craving and missing Rugby, so they planned a trip to London and while there watched the Springboks play England at Twickenham.  After watching Jonny Wilkinson, her love of Rugby began to grow.  They traveled to Texas to watch the Springboks play the USA Eagles, to Edinburgh to watch the Springboks play Scotland, and to South Africa to watch the Springboks play many matches in the Tri-Nations tournament.

Ms. Pinnell graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in general biology, and obtained her single subject teaching credential from CSUSM.  This is her fifth year teaching high school, but her second year teaching biology and chemistry at Fallbrook High School.  When she learned that a Rugby Club was being organized, she instantly decided the she wanted to be a part.  She is now serving as the Fallbrook High School Rugby Club advisor, and the Girls Rugby coach.  She is currently certified as a level 1 referee, and although she has never played rugby herself, she feels that she fully understands the game and in having Craig as her assistant coach, she will ensure that the girls will have a great Rugby Season in 2008.
