To all Coaches and Participants;
The 2020 Girls High School Rugby
National Tournament for single school teams scheduled for May 16th-17th is
cancelled due to the Cov-19 virus pandemic.
We wish to extend our sadness and regret at this
course of action to the high school seniors most of all, as well as to everyone
for the sacrifices made to fund participation and for the work put in to
compete at a high level. I want to thank the rest of the NGCC volunteer
committee for taking the time to help keep this nonprofit event going each year.
Given player welfare and preparation
concerns, the desire to mitigate financial loss for distant travelers,
liability coverage uncertainty, widespread event shutdowns, and above-all
public health and safety, there is no other option.
Notre Dame College will be mailing
back registration fees to the registered teams. Please contact Luke
Markovich at Notre Dame College directly to confirm mailing address. He is

It is our hope that the 2021 National
Tournament could be held at Notre Dame College given the strong relationship
we've built with this year's host and all the work they've put into laying a
strong foundation for a great event.
We hope all us coaches and your many
wonderful players can meet in 2021 to continue this long-standing national
celebration of girls rugby.
Sincerely;
John Klein (Chair)
