Former Blitsbok and manager of the SA 7\u2019s Academy, Marius Schoeman, attended a couple of last year\u2019s tournaments. His own tournament the Marius Schoeman 7\u2019s tournament at his alma mater, Paarl Gimnasium, formed part of the series.<\/p>\n<p>There are 11 tournaments in the series with the highlight being the Champion of Champions tournament which will again be hosted by Camp Discovery just north of Pretoria. Paul Roos Gimnasium of Stellenbosch was crowned champions during last year\u2019s inaugural series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the Champion of Champions tournament all the champions of the individual tournaments during the series as well as a few \u201cwild card\u201d teams&nbsp;will be invited.<\/p>\n<p>The first tournament of this year\u2019s series was hosted by Jim Fouch\u00e9 in Bloemfontein and was won by Grey College. Ho\u00ebrskool Rustenburg and Glenwood High School of Durban will host the next tournaments on 17 and 18 August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The tournament organiser is Darryl Weir. He is well-known in sevens circles and was also an integral part of the @lantic Sevens Series which played a major developing role in Blitsbokke like Branco du Preez, Hoffman Maritz, Cecil Afrika and Justin Geduld.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Weir, it is great to have a local partner like Twizza being a proudly South African brand, onboard. &nbsp;With rugby 7s being a very successful and transformed sport, having a dynamic partnership is great to be able to further improve the brand of 7s rugby and provide as many young players as possible with the opportunity to play 7s rugby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The High School 7\u2019s Series<\/strong><strong> tournaments:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>17 &amp; 18 August \u2013 Ho\u00ebrskool Rustenburg (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>17 &amp; 18 August \u2013 Glenwood (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>24 &amp; 25 August \u2013 Pionier (Vryheid) (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>1 September \u2013 Noordheuwel in Krugersdorp (u18)<br \/>7 &amp; 8 September \u2013 Durban High School (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>7 &amp; 8 September \u2013 Marius Schoeman 7s at Paarl Gim (U15 &amp; U17)<br \/>8 September \u2013 Diamantveld in Kimberley (u15 &amp; u17)&nbsp;<br \/>14 &amp; 15 September \u2013 Bergvlam in Nelspruit (u15 &amp; u18)&nbsp;<br \/>21 &amp; 22 September \u2013 Merensky in Tzaneen (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>12 &amp; 13 October \u2013 Brandwag in Benoni (u15 &amp; u18)<br \/>19 &amp; 20 October \u2013 Champions of Champions (u18, Camp Discovery Pretoria)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa\u2019s premier schools\u2019 sevens series, the High School 7\u2019s Series, has partnered with the country\u2019s first official Proudly South African soft-drink, Twizza.&nbsp; During last year\u2019s series there were 108 different schools that participated with more than 1250 players taking part in the competition.
