College Rugby Showcase St. John's Prep

National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) is set to host its annual College Rugby Showcase on May 2, returning to St. John’s Prep in Danvers, MA. This pivotal event, now in its fourth year, is a direct result of NCR’s strategic partnership with FirstPoint USA and aims to bridge the gap between talented high school rugby players and collegiate opportunities. Running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the showcase will feature a high school player field session, a coaches’ panel discussion, and direct engagement with college programs, offering unparalleled insight for prospective student-athletes and their families. Universities such as Dartmouth, Harvard, Boston College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have participated in prior years, underscoring the event's prestige and reach. Priced at $50 for players and $100 for college programs, this initiative is vital for connecting talent, fostering recruitment, and ultimately growing the game across the United States. It provides a crucial pathway for the next generation of US rugby stars, ensuring they find the right academic and athletic fit.
