Rugby Arizona will be taking a Varsity and JV team to the Regional Cup Tournament in Denver, Colorado again this year. RCT’s are the primary pathway to High School All American (HSAA) teams and U20 teams. Last year Arizona had 3 boys invited to HSAA tours  and 5 boys invited to EIRA tours as a result of the Bobcat 15’s program. In addition, the tournament is attended by top college and professional scouts. 

Flyer below has all the info.  We encourage all our players to attend try-outs and put their best foot forward.   Even if not selected, you will learn some new things and see what areas of your game you need to work on.
