GRR: Tournaments
Rugby won out over the weekend at the campus of UCLA as the Dennis Storer Classic hosted high school programs from around California and further afield.
Premier Rugby Sevens, the US-based pro 7s tour, will be expanding in 2022 with between four and six tournaments expected for the summer of next year.
The venues have not been finalized, but a profile of what kind of host city and venue is starting to come together.
The Greer City Christmas 7s proved a very successful event with four brackets of 7s from Boys JV up to men's college.
The City of Greeg, SC sponsored and supported this event as a way to grow recreation within the city and get more visitors to the area. It worked superbly.
The City of Greer, SC and the Greer 76ers Rugby Club are hosting a Christmas 7s tournament this coming Saturday, Dec 10.
The tournament is hosted by the city's Parks & Recreation Department and in fact the city's P&R department started their own rugby program, the 76ers.
The Carolina Ruggerfest will return for 2022 with the tournament set for March 5-6 at the Mecklenburg County SportsPlex in Matthews, NC.
Carolina Ruggerfest is probably the largest high school tournament in the country, and one of the longest-lasting as well as this will be the 19th time the event has been held.
