Teams Already Signing Up For LA Invitational

The LA Invitational is shaping up quickly as the festival tournament held in conjunction with the LA 7s returns for a second year after a one-year hiatus due to COVID.

The LAI will be held March 4-5, with March 4 at the Great Orange Park in Irvine, Calif., and March 5 at the Dignity Health Sports Park fields.

Players, coaches, and fans who attend the LAI March 5 will receive in-and-out privileges with their LA 7s tickets through the end of LAI play.

LAI teams also get discounts on tickets for the LA 7s international tournament, with a one-day general admission ticket being only $42 and a two-day ticket being $72.

Teams Already Signing Up

Air Force and Harvard are already signed up on the men's collegiate side, with Grand Canyon among the women's college teams already committed. The High School brackets are filling up fast and not just with local teams. Sure there's Mira Costa boys and Carondelet girls, but we're also seeing Lamorinda and Atlantis (both boys and girls). 

On the youth there are teams already in the U10 and U12 coed brackets, with CentCal RC and Lamorinda prominent, and Tempe and Atlantis leading the charge in U14/U16. 

Among the older competitions, military teams from the Coast Guard (men and women) and Army (men) are already in. Lindenwood University is entering two teams into the women's brackets, while the Kenya Exiles, Denver Selects, Jackson Hole, Carolina, and Northeast Academy all have teams coming.

What this all says is that there will be strong competition, and also that space is filling up and teams need to sign up soon.
