BC Rugby is delighted to announce the return of the BC Bears U16 Girls 7s program with the team set to compete at the 2024 Tropical 7s in Florida next March.
Under the leadership of BC Bears Girls 7s Head Coach Darcy Patterson, the U16 Girls 7s team will travel to competition for the first time since 2019 when the final squad heads to Florida over the 2024 Easter weekend.
This is a fantastic opportunity for U16 female athletes interested in the high-performance pathway, as the program closely aligns with the 2024 BC Summer Games in Maple Ridge and the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St John’s, Newfoundland.
