CRAA Women 7s Brings Elite-Level Play to Indianapolis

CRAA hosts their women’s 7s championship this weekend in Indianapolis and this provides the highest level of women’s 7s in the country.

The tournament, which has been held in its current form the last three years, consistently provides the best skill, tactics, and athleticism in the women’s game.

The Premier Bracket, which numbers nine teams this year, has nowhere to hide.
