Zav Cook OMBAC Rugby San Diego 2023

Hi all! I am not one to ask for help but I would greatly appreciate any sort of donation you would be willing to give.

I have been highly recruited and requested to play for Old Mission Beach Athletic Club (OMBAC) Rugby in San Diego, CA by current coach and USA Rugby Hall of Famer Mike Saunders. This is a historic club competing at the Division 1 level. With 15 USA Rugby Championships in both fifteens and sevens rugby. OMBAC has produced over ten USA Eagle national team members including Mike Saunders, Todd Clever, Brian Vizard and Dan Lyle, who have all captained the United States in World Cup play. As well as former USA Rugby President Dan Payne. An opportunity to play for this club significantly enhances my exposure and puts me a step away from Major League Rugby's San Diego Legion academy squad and beyond. If you know me and have followed my journey, you know I am very dedicated to this sport as it is my life passion.

I am asking for whatever financial help I can get to ease the transition of moving from Boise to San Diego. Including travel costs, club fees and minor stipend to survive as I transition jobs, living situations and acclimate to the cost of living. This is an amazing opportunity presented to me in my rugby career that I cannot pass up. I am forever grateful to all my teammates, coaches, friends and family that have supported me through this journey as I pursue my passion and dreams.

One Love,

Zav
