GRR: California Grizzlies
A new program playing in the NAI 7s brings back an old name.
The California Grizzlies resurrects the Grizzlies name which has been used for California and Pacific Coast select sides for decades. A collegiate Grizzlies side toured South America last year and are wrapping up a tour of Chile at the moment; now we are seeing a full age-grade program developing.
The California Grizzlies tour of Argentina has been quite the success so far, with players from all over the state getting significant action and two impressive victories.
This week's 72-10 victory over Gimnasia Esgrima de Pergamino was perhaps a surprise in how emphatic it was.
The California Grizzlies Men's U23 touring side opened up their trip to Argentina with an emphatic win over Club Atlétivo Chascomús Friday.
The California Grizzlies U23 team is set to embark on a tour to Argentina, bringing back a longstanding select-side name and reinvigorating something we haven't seen much of in a while—the regional select-side tour.
The tour will run from June 16 to June 24, with the first game being against Club Atletico on June 17.
