GRR: USA U18s
USA Men's U18s Head Coach Dominic Wareing has named his squad to tour South America in July.
The team will actually leave for Argentina on June 30 and will stay through June 13.
The USA men's age-grade team selections will be announced very soon, but here's a quick look at what they will be doing.
U18s to South AmericaThe U18 Boys will be returning to South America, where they toured last year. This tour seems to be a little more formal on the South American side, with two matches scheduled against regional academy teams in Argentina.
The USA age=grade teams are going to be active this year despite World Rugby's drawback from U20 action.
World Rugby is reportedly coming back with a new-look U20 world competition for 2026. As it is, this year, there's nothing, so USA rugby is focusing in part on a U19 team that can be developed for U20 competition a year later.
USA Rugby High Performance and USA Youth & High School Rugby have announced a series of regional talent identification camps as part of the High School Pathway program.
These camps are set up to find and develop rugby talent across the country, with a goal toward populating the U18s teams (boys and girls) and setting players up for higher honors.
USA Rugby Men’s High Performance Pathways are gearing up for another key assembly this holiday break, with the annual Winter Talent ID Camp scheduled for Dec 26 - 31 at the Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista.
