High School Coaches,
cc. John Gemma – Tournament Chair
I would just like to invite you and your players to come and watch the Empire 7s Tournament on November 19th at Stony Brook University (Directions Below). The tournament is a qualifier with the winner heading to Texas for the USA Collegiate 7’s Championship on December 16/17. I hope this would be a good opportunity for your players to watch some good collegiate rugby and talk with
coaches about both their University and rugby programs. A list of teams participating is below. The first match is set to kick off at 11AM and the finals will be after 6PM. We will have concessions and a heated tent at the event.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or tournament chair John Gemma (cc’d).
Thanks,
Daniel "Shags" Yarusso
