2017
Girls High School National Invitational Championships
Nov 10th, 2017
The 18th
Annual High School Girls Rugby National Invitational Championships will take
place the weekend of May 19th -21st, 2017 at the Moose
Rugby Grounds in Elkhart, Indiana.
This year’s event features school and club
brackets at one location, with club teams competing on Friday-Saturday and
single school teams competing on Saturday-Sunday.
The Moose Rugby
Grounds, home of the Penn HS boys and girls rugby programs, is one of the
premier rugby-specific facilities in the United States, having hosted the Boys
National Invitational Championships on multiple occasions as well as having over
a decade of experience as the home of the Midwest Girls and Boys Championship and
All-Star events, regularly hosting an average of 170 matches a year. With three professionally maintained grass
match fields and additional practice field space, the Moose regularly hosts
tournaments with 40+ teams.
As part of the
invitational tournament process, teams are asked to complete an online registration. Club team applications will be available Nov
25th. School team applications
are available now. All teams are asked
to use a hotel booking service to ensure their attendance.
The 2016 National Invitational
Tournaments saw ground-breaking expansion as twenty-four programs competed in
division one and division two single school championship brackets as well as a
ten-team club championship. Organizers
anticipate multiple brackets of both school and club competition this year.
National Girls
(School) Coaches Committee Chair John Klein commented that “the national girls’
tournament has never been stronger as more and more competitive high school
girls teams continue to develop.”
Full details of the
girls’ national tournament events are in the process of being planned. Inquiries should be directed to members of the
National Girls Single School or National Girls (Club) Coaches Committees until full event packets are published.
