Six College Campuses Add Nike Rugby Camps

Nike Rugby Camps recently announced the addition of new overnight rugby camps at several well-known universities including Duke, Michigan State, Oregon State, Arizona State, CU Boulder, and Rutgers.  These schools join existing sites University of California, University of San Diego, Stanford University and Clemson, bringing the total number of Nike Rugby Camp locations to 10. 

“We’ve added some outstanding schools and coaches this summer,” states Jason West, senior vice president for Nike Rugby Camps. “Aligning with big university brands hopefully brings more attention to the sport domestically and exposes more young rugby players to top-level coaching in a healthy, positive environment."

Nike Rugby Camps will offer overnight and day programs at most of its 10 locations in 2015.  Instruction is provided by U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame members, Division I college coaches, and current/former national team coaches and players.  The curriculum places emphasis on mastering fundamentals and improving overall technique.  Age ranges vary by location, with some camps accommodating campers as young as 10.  Nike Rugby Camp are open to players of all skill levels, from new players through highly competitive high school athletes.

“Our past success has been built around providing hands-on instruction to campers of all experience and skill levels, from America’s best coaches and players,” states Matt Sherman, head rugby coach and Nike Camp director at Stanford University. “The results we have seen are campers improving dramatically, making great friends, and having a fun and rewarding experience."
