USA Rugby's High Performance Pathway team updated the rugby public on its actions on a zoom call Wednesday night; here are some highlights.
Utah Youth Rugby will start its fall 7s in three days now that Salt Lake County has opened up for sports activities.
With the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City now able to rent out is fields, UYR will be able to hold tournaments for boys and girls through the fall. The first tournament will be this Saturday, September 19.
Rugby Pennsylvania is inching closer to having a fall 7s season, and has in fact scheduled a championship even as regions aren't quite advanced to full-contact play just yet.
The Utah Lions Rugby Academy is forging a new partnership with Eagle Impact Rugby Academy that will see EIRA diversify somewhat, and the Lions expand what they are able to offer.
The two organizations will be working together in a way that, say Lions Program Director Mike Cressler and EIRA Program Director Salty Thompson, will make both stronger.
The 2021 Boys HS Rugby National Championship is set for late-May in Salt Lake City.
The tournament, which is run as an invitational overseen by a selection committee that bases its decisions on team quality, will follow the same format of the last several years, ever since it returned to privately-run status.
