USA Women's 7s coach Ric Suggitt has his eyes on the 2016 Olympic Games, and his search for the elite athletes who will be peaking in five years' time has already begun. The Eagle 7s program is hosting two open trial camps in mid-August and encourages all superior athletes, regardless of rugby experience, to attend.

The four-day player camps are a pathway for those players who want to join the 7s player pool and become eligible for selection to international 7s tournaments, the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens and eventually the '16 Summer Games. The assemblies are limited to 40 attendees per session, so that Suggitt and former/current Eagles can provide individual feedback and critique on all athletes.

The camps will take place at UC Santa Barbara, and the entry fee of $350 covers room and board, practice and competition sessions, camp t-shirt, and direct coaching from Suggitt. Transportation to/from Santa Barbara, Calif.,  is the responsibility of the attendee. Players must first pay via USA Rugby's Web site (see details below), and once payment has been processed, a registration form will be sent to the e-mail entered through the payment portal.
