USA Rugby South Camps
USA Rugby South Release
This Saturday USA Rugby South u19 Panthers is hosting two rugby camps for boys – one in Brentwood, TN and the other in Wellington, FL. The South now has (2) teams competing in the upcoming Rugby America’s North (RAN) tournament in Miami, FL so there are open opportunities for additional players. We are also looking for 7’s players interested in going to Salt Lake City, UT for the North American High School 7’s (NAHS7s) competition.
For the Nashville/Brentwood area, there are chances for rain and scattered storms. Only extreme rain/lightening will stop our camps. We consider player safety our highest priority! If need be, we will delay and shelter as needed. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
