2015 Girls’ High School National Invitational Championship Announced
The 16th Annual Girls High School Rugby National
Invitational Championship will be held Saturday-Sunday, May 15th-17th,
2014, at Founder’s Field in Pittsburgh, Pa. Organized by the National Girls’ Coaches
Committee (NGCC) and the Pittsburgh Harlequins Rugby Football Association, the
elite girls’ team rugby tournament will feature a division one and division two
championship, with the possibility of a third division championship.
Opening ceremonies will kick off the event on Friday, May 15th,
2015 at 7pm, to be followed by Saturday quarterfinals and semifinals for each
of the divisions. The finals for each division will be played Sunday morning
and early afternoon.
The first girls’ NIT
was held in 2000 and involved six teams. As a result of increasing competition and the
desire for a venue to challenge top high school programs, the event has
expanded into multiple divisions of competition. This is not a select-side event. Combined sides are not allowed and all
athletes must be high school students in order to compete.
Competitive high school girls’ teams wishing to compete must return an
application to NGCC committee member Anthony Sasso by February 1st,
2015 (anthonysasso711@yahoo.com
). A non-refundable $500 entry fee and
an appearance deposit will be required to accept a bid to the GNIC. Divisions and seeding will be decided the week
of the tournament by the NGCC, who will take into account current records,
including the most recent regional and state playoff competitions.
Inquiries regarding competition questions may be directed to
members of the NGCC. Venue questions
should be directed to host and tournament director Matt Rosemeyer (matt@pittsburghharlequins.org) We
welcome and encourage those teams with aspirations of high-level play to this
highly competitive event.
