AR would like to organize a summer 7's program for Alexandria boys and girls ages 13 to 18. Rugby 7's is an exciting, fast paced alternative to the traditional 15's game that stresses open field running, passing and kicking. Played almost exclusively in the summer, 7's has evolved as a fantastic way to improve one's ball handling skills and build fitness. Now that 7's has been added to the Olympics (to begin in 2016), now is the ideal time to get the program started.
AR's program would serve all city youth regardless of which high school they attend and would compete in various U-19 level 7's tournaments around the Washington D.C. area throughout the summer. This is a terrific way for teens to learn more about rugby, increase their skills, get to know kids from other schools, get to know the D.C. area, and maintain and build their fitness. Summer 7's is an excellent way for high school football players to get in and stay in shape for the upcomng fall season.
Please Contact Owen Malone , director of AR's U-19 program, to let him know of your interest in either playing, helping organize or coach or for more information.
