FYRU has created a 7s series for HS so this has altered our plans this summer. We will be participating in only 2 tournaments on June 15th and June 22nd followed by selections for a select side to travel to Cape Fear 7s in July. Our 1st practice will be this Saturday the 18th at 11 am at Polo. I need everyone interested in playing to contact me and be at practice on Saturday. Below is the email explaining:
Hi Everyone,
I hope you all have began to recover from the 15s. I wanted to connect specifically about Summer 7s and see what interest your club has in creating and participating in U19s Summer 7s Series.
U19s Summer 7s Series
The series in its first year would run over two tournaments, with teams gaining points depending on their finishing place across the two tournaments the team with the most series points would be crowned the Champions 2019. The points system would be the same as what is used in the World Series 7s. From there all of the team coaches would select and create a Representative side to travel to Cape Fear 7s in Wilmington, NC on July 6th & 7th. Dave McFadden from Tampa Krewe will be leading the group to Cape Fear 7s however, he needs help from coaches and travel staff.
Having already spoken with a number of the coaches, they felt that would be best to have the two tournaments in mid June as the series tournaments. Those two tournaments would be:
June 15th - Rusted Knights 7s in Orlando
June 22nd - Shipwrecked 7s in Sebastian
We have a number of teams already interested in the series for both girls and boys divisions. Please consider entering your team into the series, it is a great way for them to have some fun over the summer, recruit new players and have an opportunity to travel to great tournament like the Cape Fear 7s.
If you are interested please email me directly and/or enter teams in both of the Tournaments. You find entry information at www.floridarugby.org/7s
Thanks
Evan
