About Us

USA Rugby South Panther Academy is a non-profit, high  performance, elite rugby training program. Through a robust calendar of training camps, competitive events and international tours, our coaches and educators identify, develop and mentor athletes in line with the USA Rugby National Development Program. We believe this combination of development and competition enables our players to realize their full athletic potential, become ambassadors for the game of Rugby, and gain the skills needed to succeed in life.
