The National Development Summit will have a special additional session on Friday, with High Performance Friday featuring Australia Head Coach Michael Cheika, and USA Rugby High Performance Manager Alex Magleby.

Each coach will be working on the rugby field for two hours, providing invaluable insight into coaching, and play development for coaches, players, and anyone else involved in the game. Both will be available for discussing during the weekend, and Magleby is also expected to discuss the pathway to the Eagles and professional rugby.

These Friday sessions are part of the NDS weekend, and those attending the NDS can choose to include one or both Friday sessions in the attendance fee. However, anyone who wants to go to just the Friday sessions can do so for $50 for one, or $85 for both.

Cheika agreed to attend the NDS after bringing his Wallabies to the USA in August and September. He was impressed with the passion for the game in the USA, and the 2015 Rugby World Cup runner-up Head Coach and World Rugby Coach of the Year has much to share with the American rugby public.

USA Rugby’s 10th Annual National Development Summit will be held January 22-24, 2016 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront in San Francisco, Calif. Find more details and purchase your tickets at usarugby.org/nds. You can also use that link to sign up for just the Friday sessions.
