Philly Rugby summer Sevens

Premier SIDE

We compete in three MAC qualifying tournaments against top teams for the three current MAC seeds at Nationals: NOVA, Scion, and the DC Furies, are some of our top competitors. We have frequently appeared at the National Championship Tournament.

Open side

We also play for fun at some of the best social tournaments in the area including Harrisburg 7s, Surfside 7s, and Cheesesteak 7s. No experience or practice commitment necessary.

Players of all experience levels are welcome to play 7s with Philly Rugby in the summer, including current college players, current 15s players, or any athletes willing to give 7s a go!
