LA 7s & LAI
The venue hosting the LA 7s February 29-March 1 has undergone some major upgrades in the last few years, making Dignity Health Sports Park—slated to be the rugby venue for the 2028 Olympics—something of a newly-burnished jewel on the rugby landscape.
The LA 7s World Series tournament has an invitational surrounding it which has over two-dozen brackets, one that gives players an exciting playing experience and while also exposing them to some of the top rugby athletes around the world.
The Southern California Youth Rugby has embraced the LA Invitational and the LA Sevens, and the tournament weekend, February 28-March 1, and the organization leadership thinks the value is more than just being available to play a few rugby games.
USA Men's 7s Head Coach Mike Friday has named his squad to play in the Dubai 7s December 5-7 to open up the 2019-2020 World Series season.
The USA stop on the Sevens World Series will be in the LA area for the first time since 2007, and Kevon Williams is pretty excited about the prospect.
