High School Boys
The first round of Eagle Impact Rugby Academies has been completed as High School All American Head Coach Salty Thompson and a team of coaches got things kicked off over the past weeks around the country.
The Fullerton Youth Tournament is set for March 2015 and already some impressive teams have signed up.
According to Tournament Director Ravi Perera, teams from British Columbia, Ontario, Northern California, and Mexico have already signed up, joining the coal Southern California boys and girls teams.
Several college coaches are expected to be in attendance.
The 2015 Boys High School Rugby National Championship will be held on May 14-16, 2015.
The location of the 2015 tournament will be selected in the coming weeks, although the smart money is on an East Coast location. It has been confirmed that Elkart, Ind., which hosted the tournament the last two years, will not host in 2015.
Hanco Germishuys may have been spending much of his summer on roofs, but that doesn’t mean he’s reached his ceiling. As he waits for a chance to try out with Gloucester, the HS All American and USA U20 flanker is working with his father’s roofing company in Nebraska. It’s hard, and often sun-scorching work, but it’s keeping him balanced for rugby opportunities ahead.
This past Sunday, the Pelham Youth Rugby hosted the Manhattan Youth RFC in a series of games born out of a rivalry that is now five years old.
The two programs both started as youth programs and have expanded to include older age brackets as their kids have aged. SO now the meeting of the clubs involves U12s, U14s, U16s, and U18s.
