USA Rugby has established two high performance pathways to National Sides. These pathways include a nomination process and the National Development Programs (NDPs):
Of the eight programs identified, Eagle Impact Rugby Academy (EIRA) is the only NDP with representation in the Midwest and presently provides programming and tours for boys and girls in U15, U17, and U19.
Players can also self-nominate or coaches can nominate players with a form at the USA Rugby Pathways website, or just click the button below.
