Stars Rugby 7s To Australia!

Donation protected
Stars Rugby 7s  is continuing its growth from the inaugural Las Vegas 7s women's tour! We just took 1 men's and 2 women's sides to compete in the Premier Division of Stampede 7s in Calgary, Canada July 3rd-6th and made it to the finals with each team while the 2nd women's team took 4th. Next up is the prestigious Central Coast 7s in Wyong, Australia in October.

This page is meant for donations for the team. We are aiming to raise $200 per player and coaches traveling to help cover costs such as playing kit, tournament entry fees, hotels, ground transportation, meals, ice baths, trainer's supplies and more. Unfunded, the cost per player for this tour is $3500.

We are an elite rugby 7s program offering men and women the chance to play at a high level they may normally never experience due to regional coaching/team/geographic challenges. Others in our player pool travel quite far - all at an amateur level paid out of pocket - to compete towards 7s national titles.

Players also travel for various all-star programs, for CRC Championships, City Sevens teams, for NASCs, and to attend developmental camps. Several players have spent time or are currently invited to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. Thus we aim to bring together the skilled athletes newer to the game, those without access to tactical, strategic rugby 7s, and developing college athletes together with experienced veterans to elevate everyones' play and nurture mentoring relationships. Our emphasis is on rugby community and team camaraderie which builds to winning tournaments.

Central Coast 7s affords our players the chance to compete against the best rugby players in the world win an atmoshphere not too different from an iRB tournament. The women's side will face off against the Fijian, Canadian, Australian and Brazilian national teams as well as 11 more elite programs from across the Pacific. The men's bracket includes the Brazilian national team and several notable 7s teams from Fiji, Samoa, New Zealand, Australia, Borneo and more.

We appreciate any support you can lend to offset the costs of travel, lodging, tournament fees, trainers, transportation and kit. We cannot emphasize enough that EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS! Even $5 buys ice for an ice bath or kinesio tape.

Additionally, we are coordinating sponsorship opportunities for businesses and rugby clubs! Anyone interested in kit sponsorship, social media/blog/website mentions, or naming rightrs contact Liz Entwhistle at [email redacted] for details.
