Due to the success of the inaugural championship, the 2014 NSCRO 7s Men's Small College National Championship is returning to Philadelphia, PA on May 31 and June 1. In 2013 eight colleges from across the country competed with the NSCRO 7s semifinals and final played in PPL Park Stadium. Occidental College prevailed over the University of North Florida in front of more than 8,000 fans in the final.
NSCRO is pleased to announce that Howard Kent will continue in his role as the NSCRO 7s Commissioner for 2013-14. Howard and the NSCRO 7s Committee are already planning the path forward to the National Championships. By the end of September, packages will be issued for potential hosts for the NSCRO Qualifying Tournaments (QTs). The goal is to hold eight QTs leading to the eight winners attending the National Championships. They are being planned to be held in the Fall, Winter and Spring (final QT date is Sunday April 27).
Howard Kent will be working with the following members of the 7s Committee. Teams interested in hosting a QT are to contact their NSCRO Region's Coordinator ASAP.
Northeast Region Coordinator - Jon Niles (Susquehanna Univ).
Mid-Atlantic South Region Coordinator - Steve Cohen.
Central Region Coordinator - Todd Streeter (Univ of Wisconsin-Parkside).
PacWest Region Coordinator - Steve Hiatt (Cal Maritime Academy).
