Bradenton, Fla. — Europe’s biggest rugby sevens series, LIT7s, is crossing the Atlantic for its first-ever US tournament. The LIT Florida International 7s will take place on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at the Premier Sports Campus in Bradenton, Florida, during Thanksgiving weekend.
West Coast Sevens A Launching Pad for More?
The West Coast 7s series has expanded to three events and the stage is being set for the series to have a farther-reaching influence.
For the organizers, however, that’s not necessarily the end-game. Andy Doukas, Warren Spieker, and Broadcast Lead Jeremy Ognall want to see something major, and national in scope.
West Coast 7s Filling Up
The first tournament of the West Coast 7s September 27 at Dignity Health Sports Park has an impressive group of teams already confirmed.
The Men's Collegiate bracket is full.
Preparation, Focus Leads SacAIR to NAI Pinnacle
The SacAIR Islands stormed through the NAI 7s to win the Boys U18 Elite, and not that long ago they weren’t even sure they’d be competing.
“We didn’t really make the decision until about a month before the tournament,” said Head Coach Wayne Koi. “That was went we put in the request to take a U18 team.”
Shakeups in Who gets NAI 7s Hardware
The NAI 7s ended up with a few surprises.
SacAIR Islanders pipped three-time champs Rebel Rugby Academy in the Boys U18 Elite final 10-7 on Saturday. That was perhaps the most notable result of the weekend.
