The Emirates Airline USA Rugby Girls’ High School National Championship Invitational will cap off a showcase weekend for Women’s rugby at Stanford University this coming Saturday and Sunday.
The Girls Championship will be held in conjunction with the Division I & II Women’s College Championships on May 12-13, bringing together the present and the future of Women’s rugby at all levels.
USA Rugby’s Youth and High School Director Kurt Weaver says combining the event with the Colleges clearly defines the player’s pathway.
“With this event, the best get to play with the best, and the Coaches get to recruit. It’s a great showcase of the game & pathway from young ages and beyond.”
Adding to the excitement will be a special appearance by USA Eagles Captain Todd Clever. Clever will be on hand Saturday, May 19 from 2-3 p.m. giving athletes and fans alike the chance to meet the USA’s World Cup hero, collect autographs and take pictures.
The action on the pitch promises to as exciting as ever, with a rematch of last year’s championship match between Fallbrook and Amazons highlighting the Quarterfinals.
Defending Champion Fallbrook out of San Diego, will be one of the teams to watch over the weekend. Over the past weekend, they swept the Southern California Championships at every age grade level (U-14, U-16, and U-19) signifying the strength of their club.
Tickets for the event are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under. You can get your tickets the day of the event at the stadium. Full bracket, schedule, and event details can be found below and at usarugby.org.
