GRR: HS Girls
EMMITSBURG, Md. - The USA Rugby Girls High School All-Americans powered by ATAVUS U16s opened their first-ever international series with a 71-0 shutout of Rugby Québec Friday on the campus of Mount Saint Mary's.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Olympic Committee sanctioned its first ever Rugby specific Community Olympic Development Program (CODP) under the direction of Play Rugby USA (PRUSA) in partnership with the Northeast Academy. The first two U18 squads born of that initiative will make their elite tournament debuts next week at the North American Invitational 7s (NAI7s) in Salt Lake City, UT.
ATAVUS has named its girls 7s team to compete in the North American Invitational 7s this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah.
ATAVUS will compete in the Girls Elite Division in Pool A, facing Atlantis, Rhino Academy, and Utah Lions.

LAFAYETTE, Colo. - ATAVUS and USA Rugby have announced three Girls HS All American teams to play 15s against Canadian opposition.
The program is splitting the teams along age (two U18s and one U16s) and geographic lines (West and East) with 80 athletes participating.
The Utah Lions Girls team has been enjoying a pretty good summer, what with winning the United World Games in Austria, and then finishing second to a national-level Canadian team in the Victoria International 7s.
Next up? The North American Invitational 7s July 29-30 at the Salt Lake Regional Athletic Complex in Utah. This is the team’s home tournament, essentially.
