Two USA HS All American sevens squads are getting ready to face off against two Canadian teams over the next two days in a Can-Am Series.

It will be Canada White vs USA Stars, and Canada Red vs USA Stripes and then on Friday the Stars will play the Stripes before playing the Canadian opponent they haven't met yet.

The top two teams will then meet in the final.

Program Director JD Stephenson said the assembly in Toronto has been very beneficial.

"The coaching staff of JK [Anderson], Ehtan [Pougnet], Steve [Brennan], and Greg [Schor] have done a wonderful job getting the players ready," said Stephenson. "Josie [Ziluca] and Jake [Shafer] have them physically in a great place, and out manager, Mike Elam, has been ensuring the ship sials smoothly. Lastly big thanks to our analyst, Tom Argy."

Ziluca is the strength & conditoning coach and Shafer if the physio.

"This is an exciting time for this program to grow and establish as a unique pathway opportunity to develop rugby players, not jjust 7s players," added Stephenson. "We know that it's two very good Canadian sides ciached and  managed by great guys that will be some great competition and experiences for our boys."
