The 21st Annual Girls High School Rugby National Tournament for single school programs will take place the weekend of May 16-17, 2020 at Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio.
Rugby Ohio completed its fall 7s series with four separate brackets this past weekend.
According to Rugby Ohio, 530 athletes participated in the Fall 7s season over four weeks, playing in Social and Competitive brackets.
Matches were played on Sundays, with teams getting in a handful of games and that was it. This past weekend was the championship event.
With the high school select-side landscape somewhat fractured, the Midwest Thunderbirds girls team turned to an international tour to find the right competition, and it paid off in a big way.
The first leg of Fall HS Sevens in the Mid-Atlantic Region was completed this past weekend at Gosling Park in Glenn Dale, Md., home of Wild Geese Old Boys Rugby club.
The event was hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Foundation and Hope for South Africa, a charity that works to prevent the effects of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in that country.
