The registration deadlines for both the girls’ high school and girls’ high school club national 15s tournaments are quickly approaching. The two separate championships are finalizing their respective fields, and so any team that wants to compete in the U.S.’s top 15s competitions needs to act now.

SINGLE-SCHOOL NATIONALS

The same scenario exists for the Girls High School National 15s Tournament, which is Saturday-Sunday, May 20-21 at the Wisconsin Rugby Sports Complex in Cottage Grove. The event has a proper website, https://www.eventcreate.com/e/hsgrugbynationals, for all event information.

By March 30, all teams must submit the Team Agreement Document and entry fee. Signed agreements should be scanned or photographed and e-mailed to John Waliszewski (wisconsingirlsrugby@gmail.com) of the National Girls Coaches Committee. Once the fields are finalized, teams will be invited to a mandatory Zoom conference call on April 16 at 7 p.m. to review eligibility requirements, check-in details and procedures.

HS CLUB NATIONALS

The Girls’ High School Club 15s National Tournament occurs Friday-Saturday, May 19-20 at Warren Wilson College, Swannanea, N.C. (just outside of Asheville). Per tournament director Pam Laura, 14 high school clubs have pre-registered for the championship. Perhaps traveling the farthest, reigning national champion SacPAL Amazons are heading to North Carolina to defend their 2022 title. There are several other western teams as well as members of the Elite Girls Rugby League (EGRL), the top 15s league on the east coast.

Middle school/U14 teams from California, Utah, New Jersey and more have also pre-registered, and there is still room in this division from more 15s teams. Remember: A team’s spot is not secured until payment is received.

The website for registration is: 2023 NGCRC at Warren Wilson College

    • You will have to create a login account.
    • You will have to answer some questions as if you are about to register a player rather than a team.
    • You will finally get to a page where you can register the TEAM.
    • You can register and not pay at that time, but you aren’t officially registered until you’ve paid. The College is already laying out money for the event. We need your registration fees!

Additional deadlines include: Team Participation Form due April 3, players registered in Rugby Xplorer by April 19; team rosters submitted to USA Rugby on April 20. Contact Pam Laura at pamrugby1@gmail.com for more information.
