As the United States prepares to host the 2031 Rugby World Cup, today’s high school and college students hold the potential to represent their country on home soil. We strive to play a pivotal role in the development of these players, not only by providing them consistent coaching from professional coaches and players, but also by creating novel opportunities for them to engage in representative-side rugby beyond their regular school and club commitments.

In line with this vision, we have launched Fall 15’s, an initiative through which the Young Glory u18 Academy offers high school students a unique opportunity to train in a semi-professional environment for a duration of 12 weeks. Under the guidance of dedicated coaches affiliated with Old Glory, these young athletes can hone their skills and further their rugby journey.

Upon graduating from our high school academy, we encourage players to continue their rugby pursuits, whether at the collegiate or men’s club level. However, we recognize the importance of supplementing their rugby schedules. Thus, we aim to establish a u23 Academy program, primarily operating during the summer months when local college students are on break and not actively engaged in rugby. This program will coincide with the conclusion of our Old Glory season, affording its members the invaluable opportunity to train alongside DC’s seasoned professionals.
