GRR: All-Stars
The National Athletic Village (NAV) has selected an all-star studded side for the Las Vegas Invitational U18 Varsity pool. The NAV Selects held tryouts in January and February in partnership with Tiger Rugby to identify talent in the Carolinas, California and Texas that were hungry to prove themselves as some of the best high school players in the country.
The Stars all-star touring side has named its preliminary roster to travel to DC to play the Capital Selects.
The roster includes seven college players.
Kayla Cook - James Madison University
*Judy Dickson - Atlanta Harlequins
*Liz Entwhistle - Fort Miami
T Fletcher - Raleigh Venom

Women’s elite-level rugby is getting better, says Eagle Women 15s Head Coach Pete Steinberg, but there are some thin areas.
We asked Steinberg to spell out some skill deficiencies among the 200 players that recently wrapped up their all-star week at Tiger Town in Florida. Steinberg instead opted to discuss positions, and then extrapolated those issues to relate to skills.
The Women’s All-Star week following Christmas Day is done with a series of final games among eight teams.
Tigertown in Lakeland, Fla. will host the Women's National All-Star competition Dec 28-Jan 3 with eight teams covering all levels and featuring 215 athletes looking to break into the US national teams.
