In covering USA Rugby’s new pathway accord, and the certification of the National Development Programs, it occurred to us at Goff Rugby Report World Headquarters that the coverage was somewhat male-centric.
Glendale, Colo. - The USA Rugby High Performance Pathways department has today announced eight newly verified National Development Programs (NDPs).
The announcement comes after a long vetting process using a detailed series of benchmarks. The system was designed to further define how so-called academy programs characterize what they do.
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.
EXETER, UK - USA Women’s National Team XVs players Gabby Cantorna, Jennine Duncan, and Kate Zackary have all accepted one-year contracts with the Exeter Chiefs, a new professional women’s team in the Tyrrell's Premier 15s League in England.
Pending visa approval, the trio will depart for England within the next few weeks to join the team for the 2020-21 Premier 15s season.
Here's a quick heads up regarding registration with USA Rugby and SportLomo.
Everyone is having to adjust to the new system. One aspect of the system is that USA Rugby members who have several different roles only have to pay for one—the most expensive, logically, but just one. So if you're a coach, an administrator, and a referee, you only have to pay for being an admin.
