The SVRF in partnership with the Sacramento Valley High School Rugby Conference is proud to announce the 26th annual Kick Off Tournament, or KOT, scheduled for Jan 29/31. Final details are still being worked out, but we already know that registration will be limited to 96 teams So register early.
For the 5th consecutive year, the winner of last year's KOT Varsity Gold division advanced to the USA Rugby HS National Championship Final. Varsity Gold Champions Jesuit beat Varsity International Champions Christian Brothers (both of Sacramento) in USA Rugby's Championship Final, held in Pittsburgh, PA,
With new clubs starting at Kennedy High (Sacramento), St. Mary's (Stockton), and Bullard High (Frenso), along with more Canadian sides expressing interest than in the past (at least 3 more new boys and 1 girls side at this date), and the continuing growth of the game at the younger levels of play, the KOT will run out of space quickly. We expect to have to turn late forming teams away, last weeks running up to the event,.
2010 registration closes on 15th January, so to ensure that you are guaranteed a spot we ask all clubs planning to compete in the KOT to submit the online registration and to pay the$250 per side entry fee as soon as possible.
All clubs, coaches and players must be CiPP registered. Players must carry personal health insurance, be enrolled and in good standing at the High School level or lower. The coach (or manager) must present
a binder at our Team Check In Station (showing proof of CIPP, photo ID and health
insurance) 1 hour prior to the team's first scheduled kick off, be it Saturday or Sunday.
