Two Colorado-based all-star teams are joining forces for the summer.

The Rocky Mountain Rebels and 5785 have begun working together, playing 15s under the 5785 moniker and 7s as the Rebels.

The partnership was set up by coaches Amy Rusert (5785) and than Pougnet (Rocky Mountain).   

“We will be collectively recruiting the top players in the region to play in the top showcases all around the country this summer,” said Pougnet. 

That includes the Rocky Mountain Challenge this coming weekend in Aurora, CO, which will be live-streamed by FloRugby. The Rebels will compete at the Victoria International 7s in July, and the North American Invitational 7s in Salt Lake City, August 4-5.

Both programs will field at least three squads - 7th/8th grade; 9th/10th grade; 11th/12th grade.
