NC Ruggerfest Information
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TEAMSNAP DOWNLOADED AND NOTIFICATIONS ON AS THIS WILL BE THE MAIN FORM OF COMMUNICATION THIS WEEKEND. FURTHER COMMUNICATION WILL BE COMING (OR HAS ALREADY COME) FROM EACH TEAM COACH OR TEAM PARENT ABOUT DETAILS FOR EACH TEAM. 
TEAM CHECK IN: Players and coaches are required to check in prior to the first game ONLY. After players and coaches do initial check-in, they can enter through this gate individually whenever they like - coaches need to have credential out and visible at all times, players will be checked for black light mark. PLEASE BE ON TIME AS EVERYONE MUST CHECK IN TOGETHER. 

CHECK IN SCHEDULE
7:00 am - JV HS Boys
7:30 am - U12 Team #1 (7th & 8th Grade)
8:00 am - Varsity HS Boys
9:00 am - U12 Team #2 (5th & 6th Grade)

*THERE IS ONE CHECK IN LOCATION (regardless of where you're playing) - See Map: CLICK HERE

ENTRY TO RUGGERFEST:  T here will be 3 spectator gates - one at the front of Area B, one at the rear of Area B, one at the front of Area A (see map). The SportsPlex venue is large and to be sure there are breaks in the fence folks could hike around to and use to get in and avoid the $5 fee. First, this is a crappy thing to do. All funds generated (100%) at Ruggerfest go to supporting youth rugby through the North Carolina Youth Rugby Union - a volunteer non-profit. Please, simply pay your $5 at the gate and enjoy your day. Second, if spectators are caught entering through breaks in the fence or sneaking in without paying - they will be ejected from the tournament. All paying spectators will get a lovely paper wristband to show they love rugby and love supporting the growth of youth rugby.

TEAM TENT CITY AREAS: Teams will have areas to set up a tent and make a team snack/ meet-up/ chill-out area. Since there are two separate playing areas this year we have spots in each area - AREA B, SPOT 8 (Varsity & U14 Team), AREA A, SPOTS 50 & 51 (Everyone else).  CLICK HERE for the field map which outlines where tent areas are. 

Other notes:
  • Spectators found to be abusive, in areas they should not be after a warning, or otherwise unruly at our youth sports event will be ejected from the facility. Please, keep in mind this is a youth event and setting a positive example for children should be at the front of everyone's minds.
  • No alcohol or tobacco products of any kind are allowed in the facility (including vapes). This is a county-owned park. Both park rangers and police will be in the area to monitor non-rugby infractions.   
     
  • Pets, including service animals, are NOT permitted on the playing surfaces as this poses a health risk to athletes. There ARE lots of areas in the park that are fine for pets - pets must be on a leash.
