USA Rugby Olympic Development Academies (ODA) provide athlete development through a year-round training program. "ODA's goal is to narrow the gap between amateur domestic players and international sevens rugby by accelerating the development of athletes not in full-time residency at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA." The following academies currently exist: American Rugby Pro Training Center, Atavus (Seattle & San Diego), Life ODA, Northeast Academy, Rugby Utah, Santa Barbara Academy, Scion Rugby and Tiger Rugby. Academy events, tours and teams are covered. Academy sides, as well select sides, are involved in many rugby tournaments both domestically and internationally.
