“Last year’s Stars and Stripes Camp opened up so many opportunities for me to further rugby in my life,” returning Camp invitee Ashlee Byrge told USA Rugby. “What I enjoyed the most was the amazing people I met and the exposure I got. From the Camp I was seen by many coaches, which ended up getting me a collegiate scholarship.

“The most important thing I learned from the Camp was how to be a coachable player. It’s hard going from your home team when you are so used to and comfortable with everything to playing at the next level and being shown new and proper technique and skills.

“This year I’m looking forward to stepping onto the pitch and showing the coaches that everything I was taught last year I have practiced and applied to my every-day play. I’m excited to see what new and advanced skills the coaching staff has to offer and teach all of us athletes.”
