GLENDALE, CO. - The USA Women’s National Team XVs has named rosters for an eight-week daily training environment (DTE) and two 8-day mini camps to be held through November in Glendale, CO. Both assemblies will take place at Infinity Park, the official national training site for the Men’s and Women’s Eagles in XVs. 

Players for the DTE will assemble this Saturday, Sept 19 and remain in Colorado until mid-November. Those unable to attend the DTE due to work commitments will engage in the 8-day mini camps happening at various points through October. 

The DTE and each mini camp will focus on individual, unit and team skills as an extension of remote learning conducted through COVID-19 quarantine. Rosters feature a number of young and talented pool players with many representing Junior National Team programs. 

Overall, fall programming will set the stage for World Cup preparation with just one year until New Zealand 2021. And as the world continues to fight COVID-19, players in attendance will follow a number of rigorous safety protocols to ensure a safe setting for all involved. 

Head Coach Rob Cain said:

“A huge thank you to our medical staff, the XV Foundation and USA Rugby Players Association for bringing this vision to life in terms of safety, finance and logistics. I cannot stress the importance of what we are doing. The cancellations of our domestic season have meant that our players haven’t had any competitive rugby for almost 12 months. We had to act to give ourselves a fighting chance in 2021. 

“We are all excited to get to work and build on the past 5 months of hard work, where our staff and players combined work ethis took advantage of our robust  remote learning program. Alongside our experienced players, there will be some excellent inner competition thanks to the high school, college, WPL and pathway coaches who have developed our extremely talented uncapped players and youngsters. 

“We see everything as a challenge and this chapter in our story continues to shows our ambition  to make an impression in 2021.”
