The Season Isn’t Over—

For most middle school athletes, the final whistle of the spring season marks the end of the year. But for this select group of U14 rugby players, the spring season was just the warm-up. These young athletes have been chosen for their skill, heart, and dedication to continue playing the 7-a-side game at the highest competitive level possible.

They have their sights set on one of the most prestigious youth rugby stages in the world: the North American Invitational 7s (NAI7s) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Why This Matters

Rugby is more than just a sport to these kids; it’s a lesson in character, discipline, and brotherhood.

The NAI7s (held July 31 – Aug 6, 2026) is a massive opportunity. Held at the Regional Athletic Complex (RAC), this tournament brings together elite academies and select sides from across the continent. For our U14s, it’s a chance to:

Test Their Limits: Compete against the best youth talent in North America.
Gain Exposure: Play in front of scouts and national-level coaches.
Grow Together: Represent our community on a national stage and build bonds that last a lifetime.

The Challenge: Getting to Utah

Great opportunities often come with great distances. To get a full squad of players, coaches, and equipment from our home pitch to the mountains of Salt Lake City, we need your help.

Our goal is to raise funds to cover:

Registration Fees: Cover the tournament fees to register and play
Lodging and Food: Keeping the team together fed and in a focused, safe environment during the 3-day tournament.
Kit: We're designing tournament jerseys designed for the heat and to commemorate our time at NAI7s
Ground Transport: Fuel and van rentals to move players between the hotel and the RAC fields.
