The National 7s Youth Rugby Championships fall out of The Rugby Breakdown’s purview in terms of age grades, with the exception of the girls’ U16 competition. The following teams are competing for top honors from June 9-11 in Cleveland, Ohio. The games will be live-streamed on The Rugby Network, and the schedule is available here.

The Girls’ U16 division involves seven sides, with Belmont Shore (Calif.) providing two teams. Atlantis, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy (EIRA) and Hawkeyes Academy are select sides that source players from across the country. Belmont Shore, Pasefika (Hawaii) and new team Atlanta Valkyries are stand-alone clubs – which isn’t to say players from other teams aren’t included on the travel roster.

All teams will play each other, with three games on Friday, June 9, and three games on Saturday, June 10. Then the top-two teams in the standings will flow into Sunday’s championship match, and the 3rd and 4th-place teams will contest the bronze medal match. See the full schedule.
