GRR: HS Girls
A new, potentially national-level girls HS 7s tournament is set to be held in Idaho this weekend.
The GARHS 7s will feature 12 teams, five of which are from the host state, but with seven from various states around the West.
The 3rd Annual Urban Rugby Championship will be held in 2024 in Washington DC from March 5-9.
Qualifying programs from across the country will gather in the name of equity, access, and opportunity through rugby.
