Reminder: Boys HS Nationals Application Window Still Open
Reminder: Boys HS Nationals Application Window Still Open
This is a reminder that the application window for the Boys HS Rugby National Championships is now open.
Teams can access the application form here>>
Why apply for the National Championship? Teams that play in the tournament, even those that don't win a lot of games, they encounter a different level of competition as well as different styles of play.
GRR often gets that feedback after National Championship tournamants—coaches and players saying "we'd love to come back. We know more about what it takes now."
The tournament will be held May 23, 24, and 25 (Thursday through Saturday) at the Moose Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Ind.
The Moose Rugby Grounds will feature three full-sized grass fields plus a field reserved for warmups. All fields are lined exclusively for rugby and the tournament is supported by top referees from around the USA as well as sponsors such as Major League Rugby, the US Rugby Foundation, and Next Phase Rugby.
The tournament will be shown live on The Rugby Network and last year's tournament was one of the most-watched events on TRN.
Here's a rough timeline for the application process:
January 2 Applications Open
February 15 Deadline to Apply
March - The BHSNC Committee will likely look for games during March that can serve as play-ins for teams from the same region that are potential competitors.
Late March to Early April - Decision Day
Unsure if you will be good enough this year to play at the National Championships? Apply! You can always retract your application if things don't go as planned during the season, but you cannot apply after the deadline and expect to get a spot at Nationals.
