Green Hornets, Severn River Rugby Team Up

There’s a steady chain developing in the Severna Park rugby scene.

The Severn River Rugby Football Club and Severna Park Green Hornets connected during the inaugural Green Hornets youth rugby clinic on July 11, ahead of the Green Hornets hosting the Maryland Youth Rugby Festival later in the month.

Severn River, comprised of senior men’s and women’s teams and coaches, introduced young players to running an effective defense, defending one-on-one, proper passing technique, and drop-kicking. The clinic ended with the Green Hornets’ U13 and U16 teams scrimmaging against Severn River.

Green Hornets rugby participates in touch rugby from May to July and is open to youth players, ages 5 to 16, of all skill levels.

Severn River Rugby runs touch rugby sevens during the summer and participates in rugby union during the fall and spring. They field both competitive and social teams and welcome men and women of all skill levels. The club practices Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm at American Legion Post 175 on Manhattan Beach Road in Severna Park.
