FromĀ www.stategamesofmichigan.com:
“On June 23, 2012, approximately 150 rugby athletes representing multiple skill levels, ages, from all corners of the State of Michigan, gathered on Michigan’s West Coast to compete in the Meijer State Games of Michigan 3rd annual Rugby 7s tournament. Modeled after the Olympics, the philosophy of the Meijer State Games of Michigan is that everyone participates regardless of age or ability; everyone is welcome and everyone plays.
The Games embody the values of participation, good sportsmanship and promotes good nutrition and healthy living among residents of the state of Michigan. The Meijer State Games of Michigan is truly a grassroots organization that relies on the dedication of thousands of volunteers and the support of corporate partners.
Like the Olympics, the Meijer State Games of Michigan includes an Opening Ceremonies that allows thousands of spectators to witness the Parade of Athletes, Lighting of the Cauldron and experience great entertainment.”
