The USA Women’s Rugby 7s National Team is soon traveling to Anchorage, Alaska and will visit Alaska Mountain Rugby Grounds September 5th. The trip is designed to promote rugby in the schools and will be funded by Alaska Rugby. Over the course of a week, the team will visit over 25 schools in an effort to grow the sport. A youth camp and a demo match by the team will also be held.
