Utah Youth Rugby had planned to hold the 2021 Girls High School Club 15s Championship in Salt Lake City in mid-May, but Covid-19 cancelled the annual event for the second consecutive year. But UYR held onto the field reservations and repurposed the weekend for a 7s tournament that meets the state’s Return to Play guidelines.

“We did not hold our annual Pink 7s tournament in October 2020 due to COVID,” Utah Youth Rugby President Owen Power explained. “This would have been our sixth Pink 7s event. With Girls Club Nationals cancelled again for 2021, we will hold the 6th Annual Pink 7s on May 15 at the Regional Athletic Complex.”

The tournament features girls’ high school (9th-12th grade) and middle school (6th-8th grade) division, and it is open to both single-school and club teams, as well as motley and academy sides. Teams can enter multiple sides ($500 for high school, $250 for middle school), and the tournament will allow for rolling subs. The USA Rugby High School Player Eligibility rules will be enforced.

Utah Youth Rugby has partnered with The Comfort Inn & Suites Salt Lake City Airport (a 12-minute drive to the Regional Athletic Complex) for the Pink 7s Tournament. There is a 15% discount off of its lowest group rate when booked through this link. A room with two queen beds is currently $67/night with free cancellation.

Visit www.pinksevens.com for more information. There is already interest from those teams that were planning a trip to high school club nationals that weekend, from the West and beyond.
