GRR: HS All-Stars
Southern California Youth Rugby has announced its Boys & Girls all-star coaches.
Richie Walker, who has coached the USA U20 Women's 7s team will coach the girls Griffins, and Matt Hawkins, former USA 7s team captain and former USA 7s team coach, will coach the boys Griffins.
Women’s elite-level rugby is getting better, says Eagle Women 15s Head Coach Pete Steinberg, but there are some thin areas.
We asked Steinberg to spell out some skill deficiencies among the 200 players that recently wrapped up their all-star week at Tiger Town in Florida. Steinberg instead opted to discuss positions, and then extrapolated those issues to relate to skills.
The Women’s All-Star week following Christmas Day is done with a series of final games among eight teams.
The news that the Southern California Eagle Impact Rugby Academy will field its own select side is just the latest in a trend in HS rugby.
Tigertown in Lakeland, Fla. will host the Women's National All-Star competition Dec 28-Jan 3 with eight teams covering all levels and featuring 215 athletes looking to break into the US national teams.
