SFGG Summer 7s Registration Now Open

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN FOR SUMMER 7S

Join SFGG Summer 7s Rugby!

7s Rugby is the exciting, fast-moving format used in the Olympics. It features a lot of passing and running. SFGG has several alumni who have played for the US National team in 7s including the legendary Danny Barrett and current National Team player Lucas Lacamp.

SFGG’s 7s Rugby Program Preseason will begin in May. 

May practice dates and times will be:

Practices in June and July are expected to be on Tuesday and Thursday, time and location still pending.

In addition, we will host “Open House” clinics on May 9, 16, 23rd for new players. This will be an opportunity to give 7s Rugby a try and learn the basics, but of course we encourage all new players to register as well. 

Tournaments for the Summer season will be held each Saturday starting June 8th and running through mid-July. The final schedule will be posted by May 6.

Practices in June and July are expected to be on Tuesday and Thursday, time and location still pending.

On Thursdays in June we will add a social Touch & BBQ session that will include U8s and social players of all ages.

We will be fielding teams in the following age groups:

  • Middle School Boys, Middle School Girls

  • U12s (CoEd Tackle)*

  • U10s (CoEd Tackle)

  • U8s (CoEd Flag)

*We will look for opportunities to break out all-girl squads where we have numbers and can match up with other all-girl squads.

Youth Program Details

Winter/Spring 2024/2025

Details to be posted in August of 2024

Recruiting New Players: If you enjoyed this season, please help us spread the word with your friends to give rugby a "try". They can sign up with the same show of interest survey. If they are new to the game, you can also share Becky's youtube clip 

Get more involved? We need to add new members to the Parent's Advisory Council to help shape direction and set goals of the youth club and to represent specific teams. If interested, please sign up here or contact Ansel, Carly or Terry. This is advisory only, does not require any rugby knowledge and requires less than an hour a month for basic planning calls, up to 6 times a year. Examples of logistical Items discussed would be practice days/times/locations, club day, socials, uniforms, car pooling, fee structures and potentials tours.

SFGG Youth Teams :
SFGG field the following teams and play home/away matches and tournaments. 
Boys & Girls: U8 Flag / Touch Rugby
Boys & Girls: U10 & U12 Tackle​ 
Boys: Middle School U14 [also referred to as MS]

​Volunteering: Help us stay a club that is 100% run fully by volunteers, the vast majority are parents.  We need your help to run the program. Most volunteering roles take a few hours across the full season and are very rewarding. Certain roles like Team Managers and the Volunteer Coordinator will receive some cool SFGG Club attire !  We also have openings on Planning + Advisory Committee that meet every couple of months, especially for new u8 or u10 parents, please contact junioryouth@sfggrugby.com or see Terry Shire before or after any practice. 

CALL TO ACTION: please fill out the Volunteer Survey

Scheduling Overview:
In general our traditional season plays games starting in January, with team practices starting in December:

  • Jan/Feb/Mar: regular season with
    • ~10 games
    • Home games on Sundays @ TI
    • Away games either Saturday or Sunday across the Bay Area (i.e. Marin, San Jose, Orinda, Dublin, Danville etc)

NOTE: One advantage of local rugby is SFGG and most other local clubs combine practices and games/events across multiple Youth Ages from u8 to u14s so multi player families can commute one time to an event as opposed to be scattered across multiple times, days and locations across the Bay Area. 
​​
Safety: We are parents first and take the health and safety of all of youth players very seriously. Our very experienced head coaches take a safety first approach to the sport. 

League & Info: SFGG plays teams in the Bay Area region of Rugby Norcal. More info on youth rugby can be found on the USA Rugby website.
