GRR: National Sevens Youth Rugby Championships
Final pool play standings are set for the National 7s Youth National Championships, and so we have our playoff seedings for Sunday.
Quick notes from National Youth 7s and a lot of interviews.
Overall we have to say the standard of play was excellent—kids knew what they needed to do; they could pass and catch and tackle; they were smart and exciting to watch. In some respects, such as the girls goalkicking, and teamwork in all brackets, the standard was better than college 7s we have seen.
The National Youth 7s Championships are set to kick off Friday with the first set of pool games.
There are 10 teams in the Boys U16 bracket in two pools of five.
The National 7s Youth Rugby Championships is now pretty much fill, with just a few open spots in the Girls U14 bracket.
There is, however, a waitlist for some brackets.
The National 7s Youth Championships will return for its third year June 9-11, 2023 in an expanded form.
Held in Cleveland, Ohio, the tournament has, in its first two years, seen top U15 7s teams facing off over two days.
In 2022 Belmont Shore took the Girls Championship, while Tribe Rugby took the Boys Championship. The Tier II Boys was won by the Celina Legion.
