Carolina Ruggerfest

11/30/2020

It is with great disappointment that we are announcing the cancelation of the 18th Annual Carolina Ruggerfest set for March 6 & 7, 2021. North Carolina health officials continue to recommend against "sports activities for which participants cannot maintain social distancing and close contact is frequent and/or prolonged" such as rugby. State health officials continue to recommend against large gatherings, such as tournaments, as well. In addition, the venue that we use for the Carolina Ruggerfest is currently not permitting tournaments and their determination for our tournament to be played will not be made until February 15th based on their current guidelines.

These challenges - we feel - make it difficult for us to be able to put on a quality tournament that you have come to expect from the Carolina Ruggerfest over the years. We hope that you will join us again in 2022 on the first weekend in March. Please mark your calendars for March 5 & 6, 2022.

Take care and stay safe.

CJRA

❤️

Rugby Family,

Sure, it’s “just a game.” But right now we have seniors looking at the prospect of not being able to play their final season. We have kids who worked hard/ tried out for and made National Academy teams and were super excited to go on tours to other states and other countries. We have kids who just discovered rugby and fell in love and now are not able to play. We have coaches and other volunteers who have all spent a lot of time and money to make all of “this” go and grow.

And now, in what seems like an instant, some of it is already gone and some is going and some is a distant hope that we can salvage something at a later date this season.

Let’s be there for our kids and for each other. There is going to be plenty of sad, some tears, some frustration. Let’s all try to balance that out with understanding, love, perspective, and the promise that there WILL be more rugby in the future.

My guts hurt from this because I know how hard each of our players works and that they have earned and deserve to play our wonderful game and laugh and joke on the sidelines and make new friends and to discover the wonderful culture rugby has around the world - but it’s just a pause. It sucks. It sucks a lot. But we will be back and back with a vengeance.

On behalf of all the CJRA coaches and staff - we love you and hope you and yours are safe, weather the storm, and will be back with us soon.

Warm Regards,

Coach Saxon

Performance at Ruggerfest moved several teams up the rankings.

Our club, this club, CJRA, now has the #1 boys HS Rugby team in the United States of America. This is a first for not only our club but our city and state.

Today’s U10 rookie is tomorrow’s Tiger.

#YouWillNeverWalkAlone

Congratulations as well to our NC brothers Redhawks and Clayton who both moved up the rankings as well. A rising Carolina tide.
