2017 USA Rugby Academy National Assessment Camps

The camps will focus on high performance rugby and players will be grouped from youth, age-grade, college and senior club. Participants must be at least 15 years of age to be eligible to attend.

The NAC will focus on general skills, basic testing, and rugby activities led by USA Rugby national program coaches. The camps also serve as an opportunity for players who perform well to receive an invitation to a Regional Training Camp, Resident Camp, and/or upcoming national pathway event. Local coaches are welcome to attend to either observe or assist.
