San Diego Mustangs Rugby

U18s began their promising season with a two day kickoff camp in Solana Beach .Their first foe was stout one, old nemesis Carlsbad Thunder in a league game in Carlsbad. The game featured the one two halfback punch of Spencer Huntley and Rocco Pool who pressured the Thunder all day with their kicking, and the 18s prevailed 29-13. Next up was Back Bay, a young team on the rise, but no match for the 18s who prevailed 51-7. A Friday fixture up the 15 against an always formidable SOC Raptors saw the 18s come out again on top, 31-21. Back home for their toughest match of the season against Belmont Shore.

Who: Mustangs players that are rising U8s (moving to U10 next year) and above through u16 What: Summer 7s is a great chance to play an exciting, wide open style of rugby! 7s rugby is great to work on fundamental skills as there are very minor positional differences – every player needs to be able to do everything. Also, with only 7 players on each side, there is lots of space to run and score. Matches are 15 minutes long and played in a tournament format every Saturday in June – July (except July 6). This is the format played in the Olympics and in international tournaments around the world.   Practices: Monday and Wednesday 5:00-6:30pm starting Monday, May 13th. We will have coaching support at practices from active players on our USA national 7s team to help our ruggers improve on their skills.
