Greetings Everyone,
As previously mentioned and with more information below, we are working on building Panther Partnerships with College programs. We have already begun selections for the Rugby America's North Tournament (RAN) and have participants from the University of Kentucky, Lindenwood, Middle Tennessee (MTSU), Furman, and Iano College, as well as a variety of high school rugby programs. If you are interested in joining on our All-Star team this summer, even if you cannot attend the June 22 camp, please go ahead and register with our program because it is now FREE! That's right - if you sign up now we will waive your registration fee and you will be able to attend our try-outs and player camps this summer for free!
To be eligible, players must be born after January 1, 2000, have a valid passport, and be compliant as a USA Rugby Member (https://www.usarugby.org/membership/). Additionally players must complete our USA Rugby South Player Form which you can do by clicking here: https://allstarrugby.sportngin.com/register/form/338975736.
Thanks and with you!

USA RUGBY EAGLES 7s JERSEY AUCTION
One of the goals of our All-Star rugby program is to prepare players to compete at a higher level and provide a pathway for selection to our national team. So when USA Rugby High Performance Manager, JD Stephenson declared in a recent statement, "The South Panthers continue to develop as a major pathway to the National Teams Programs", we were thrilled! Then, in further show of support, JD shared with us an officially signed USA Eagles 7s jersey that celebrates the 2019 Las Vegas 7s Championship! Thank you so much JD...very kind of you! We have decided to auction this one of kind jersey to raise money for U19 players who need assistance when we compete in RAN 15s this summer. Please keep your eyes out soon for more information on how to bid on this truly unique rugby treasure!
