All matches will be played at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind. The Moose Rugby Grounds features four full-sized, natural grass fields. All three fields are lined specifically for rugby and are considered among the finest rugby-specific, natural grass fields in America.

Definition of HS Club and Single-School Teams

For the BHSRNC Tournament, High School teams consist of players who are enrolled in that school only, regardless of local rules that allow students to play on other high school’s teams. A Club team is defined as a team made up of players from drifferent high schools who play regularly-scheduled matches against other club or high school teams.  Club teams are not “all-star,” “academy” or “select side” teams.  Players on a club team may only play for that club team during that club team’s regular season.  Players on club teams must be registered to that team by April 1, 2022.  Club teams must submit a roster of their registered players to the BHSRNC Committee on April 1, 2022.
