The College Rugby Association of America (CRAA) has named its travel squad for the Rugby Americas North U19 Championships.
CRAA has taken over the U19 team to compete in this tournament, which will once again be held in Querétaro, México, August 5-8.
The CRAA U19s program is designed to be part of the USA Rugby development process and it is also being used as a chance to develop young coaches within the program.
In addition, the competition will serve as a player identification for future USA Men’s U20 player pools.
“This group is a great example of what a connected player pathway can look like," said CRAA U19 Head Coach Sean Duffy. "We have high school seniors preparing for college, current college players continuing their development, and coaches from across the country working together with one purpose. Hopefully every player leaves with a better understanding of the standards required to represent the United States and the great responsibility that comes with that.”

The CRAA Men’s U19s player pool consists of 27 overall prospects, with 12 current college players and 12 graduating High School seniors entering college.
