South River Youth Athletics is adding U19HS Summer 7s Rugby to its program line-up! “Sevens” is the fast-paced 7-a-side version of rugby played in tournaments and matches with 7-minute halves.
- Is tackle rugby just for the guys? No! There are both U19HS men’s teams and U19HS women’s teams in the area. We’ll run practice co-ed for instruction and fitness drills, but with separate contact and tackling practice and separate teams for tournament competition.
- Don’t know how to play? We’ll teach you! No experience necessary—proper training will be provided to build fitness and stamina along with rugby skills.
- What about competition? There are several Summer 7s tournaments in the region, and the team will discuss which ones to enter.
- When and where do we practice? We’ll meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 – 8:30 pm at South River HS from May through July.
- What’s RUGBY like? It started when a frustrated soccer player at Rugby College in England picked up the ball and ran with it! Eventually, American football grew out of rugby—but rugby doesn’t stop for downs like football does, and players aren’t stuck at a position where they can’t score. In rugby, EVERYONE gets to run with the ball and SCORE!
- What do I need? Cleats (without toe cleat), sturdy rugby shorts, and a mouth guard. If you wear glasses, you’ll need to go without or wear contacts.
- What does it cost? $40 to SRYA will cover fees, registration & supplies--we’ll provide the balls and field equipment, and everyone will get an SRYA Rugby tee-shirt to keep. Tournament fees are additional and will be divided among the participants so you only pay for what you participate in. You’ll also need to register your annual membership with USA Rugby for $20 (if you haven’t already since last September).
