The camp will introduce players to our game plan as well as evaluate each player based on skill, athleticism and on-field decision making for possible selection to the All USAF Rugby Team that will participate in the Armed Forces Rugby Championships in Nov 2010. There will be plenty of rugby for everyone. Players must provide for their own transportation to/from Savannah, GA, meals and gear. Lodging and local transportation, tournament entry fees, and game jerseys will be provided by AF Sports. This is a great opportunity to represent your US Air Force and be a part of USAF Rugby!
