GLENDALE, Colo. (USA Rugby Release) - USA Rugby today announced an eight-team national women’s U23 competition to be held annually, in an effort to increase talent identification and development for athletes across both 15s and 7s.
Premier Rugby Sevens, the US-based pro 7s tour, will be expanding in 2022 with between four and six tournaments expected for the summer of next year.
The venues have not been finalized, but a profile of what kind of host city and venue is starting to come together.
American rugby's move forward depends heavily on the continued improvement of coaches and referees, and the United States Rugby Foundation is helping.
The USRF provides grants for coaches and referees to complete USA Rugby coaching and referee clinics as well as coaching and referees courses and exchanges with international academies.
The USA Men’s second outing in the Sevens World Series was inconsistent.
But that’s to be expected, really, because the team itself is inconsistent. Big changes have happened and more will happen as Head Coach Mike Friday transitions to a younger team.
