Cardinal Cup

Our Cardinal Cup competition is a great way to build camaraderie, improve skills, and foster a healthy sense of competition within our club. The Cardinal Cup competition divides the club team into four smaller groups we call houses.  These houses include:

Irish | Magnum | Silverbacks | Pegasus

During Cardinal Cup there are a series of challenges or drills based on skills, strategies, or fitness levels.

Challenges: These can vary widely depending on the sport. For example:

  • Skill Drills: Passing accuracy, shooting practice, or technical drills.

  • Fitness Races: Timed sprints, endurance runs, or obstacle courses.

  • Mini Matches: Short scrimmages or tactical scenarios.

Scoring System: A points system is established to track performance in each challenge. Points can be awarded for wins, team support, community  service or improvements.

Benefits:

  • Skill Development: Players get focused practice on specific skills.

  • Team Bonding: Friendly competition strengthens team unity and morale.

  • Motivation: Players are motivated to push their limits and perform better.

  • Fun and Engagement: Adds an element of fun to regular practice sessions.

Cardinal Cup has become a long-standing competitive tradition for the Charlotte Cardinals Rugby Club!  May the best house win!
