University Weekend

Join us for University Weekend, an event designed to bridge the gap between high school rugby players and college programs. Held in San Diego and aligned with the San Diego Legion’s final scheduled home game, this weekend gives athletes and their families an inside look into collegiate rugby, while offering college coaches a front-row seat to Southern California’s top talent.


Player Prep

Virtual Rugby Resume Workshop - Wednesday, June 4 
Before the weekend, players will join a free virtual workshop to build their rugby resumes.

We'll cover... Athletic metrics, Academic stats (GPA, test scores), Extracurriculars, goals, and community involvement, How to research programs that fit your goals (location, level, cost), and tools for recruitment.

Athletes missing any athletic metrics may complete assessments at the Combine.
