As part of the USA Rugby Academy, Serevi Rugby® has opened the application process for its 2014 Elite Residency Programs coming in Summer 2014.  For athletes aged 15+, the Elite Residence Programs are multi-day, immersive training sessions at a destination facility with approximately 50 other aspiring athletes taking the next step in the developmental pathway towards the U.S. National Teams. Interested players are encouraged to apply to attend the age appropriate camp, while some players have already been invited through the talent ID portions of USA Rugby Academy by Serevi’s High Performance Camps this spring around the country. Based on integrated training from seasoned international experts in both rugby 15s and 7s, players will be receive high performance rugby education including on-field skill development and attack/defense decision making, as well as off-field training including nutrition seminars, age/development specific strength and conditioning, mental skill building, game analysis video sessions, "prehab" sessions for injury prevention and muscle activation, and recovery techniques to maximize training time. Through a Serevi and World Rugby Shop partnership, scholarships will be given to ensure identified "high talent" players can attend the Elite Residential Camps.
