GRR HS Club Rankings Week 1

GRR HS Club Rankings Week 1

Thunder Rugby gets #1 ... for now.

This is most definitely a preseason ranking.

Very few club teams are in action right now, and even the teams that are playing, such as the Californian teams that were in the Storer Classic, will take some time off.

Texas does get some club games going, and Florida has started, but it will be slow going in January.

So it's important to remember that there will be more action to change these rankings as the winter becomes glorious spring. What this is not is a prediction of how the rankings will end. It is a snapshot of where we think most of these clubs are now, and there is so much more to see.


The GRR Rankings are brought to you by Next Phase Rugby, a USA-made and maintained app that connects college rugby programs and HS rugby players. It's a great way for college programs to find players they wouldn't know otherwise, and a great way for high schoolers to create and finalize their best college prospects. Go to nextphaserugby.com to download the app.
