Trinidad & Tobago is the only country in the Caribbean which has a Seven-A-Side Rugby Series. These competitions assist in the continued development and spread of the sport within the country.
The TTRFU Executive Committee wishes all Clubs hosting tournaments all the best and thanks them for their commitment in striving to improve the quality of the sport at the local level.
The series will also assist the TTRFU National Technical Committees at all levels to review the talent on display for selection to the various National Teams as well as the TTRFU Fixtures Committee in seeding and developing a ranking for local clubs.
The TTRFU is endeavouring to partner with the Ministry of Planning & Development, Ministry of Sport & Youth Affairs and Ministry of Tourism in their continued vision to ensure that sport is not only played for recreational purposes, but to be developed from the grass roots level to be promoted on the international sporting calendar and in the sphere of sport tourism.
