NAV 7s 2023 Emerging Talent Camp

NAV 7s 2023 Emerging Talent Camp (May 31st, 2023 - June 4th)

Make the most of your rugby journey and the opportunity to compete in a High-Performance training environment with NAV 7s. As NAV 7s comes off an exciting 2022 campaign that involved winning the USA Club 7s National Championship, placing 1st at Freetail 7s, 3rd at RugbyTown 7s, and providing athletes pathway opportunities; we look to continue to build and develop the 7s rugby talent through opportunities like our Emerging Talent Camp.

Our mission and goal is to continue to provide avenues for players to compete at a high level, showcase their talents among top competition, and contribute to their development, and do so in an environment that is built on the values of TRUST, RESPECT, FAMILY, and FUN!

The Emerging Talent Camp will allow for all athletes to experience the NAV culture or as we call it, the NAVFam, while being in a training environment designed to advance your skillsets, improve you rugby IQ, develop an understanding of nutrition, embrace the importance of S&C, and receive various other resources and instruction designed to help you grow as a rugby 7s player and as an individual.
