North American 7s to Dubai

Calling All North American Rugby Supporters. We have received an invitation to participate in the Dubai 7s u19 International Boys division held Dec 1/2, 2017, which is a huge honor.  We have assembled a team of the top players from the US and Canada to compete against the development squads of some of the best teams in the world. This will give exposure of some of the best North American athletes from teams such as Utah Lions Rugby Academy, EIRA, Atlantis Rugby, and Upright Rugby Rogues, to international selectors, collegiate scouts, and open doors and opportunities for higher education and higher levels of competition. 

We will be the first North American team to accept the invite and make the trek to the Dubai 7s to represent the US and Canada as a joint side. Creating cross border friendships and connections that will last long after we get home.




This opportunity is also very expensive. Each player has committed to bearing the full costs of travel to Dubai averaging $2400 per player. We expect these players to work as hard to fund the tour as they do on the rugby field. You can help alleviate some of the burden these boys are facing through your generous donation.

While in Dubai, the boys will not only play rugby but also participate in a community outreach program at a local school. While the school and their kids will benefit, the opportunity will be life changing for the players.

Funds are needed ASAP. We have until Oct 20th to pay the balances on the deposits we have made.  Please help these boys get there to be part of this amazing event.
