Currently headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, USA Rugby is charged with developing the game on all levels and has over 110,000 active members. USA Rugby oversees four national teams, multiple collegiate and high school All-American sides, and an emerging Olympic development pathway for elite athletes. It also hosts over 30 national playoff and championship events every year as a service to its members. In October 2009, the International Olympic Committee announced that Rugby Sevens (the seven-a-side version of the game) will appear in the 2016 Olympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro. USA Rugby became an official Olympic Sport member of the United States Olympic Committee in 2010. Visit www.usarugby.org for more. OUR ATHLETES USA Rugby has 10 National Teams. Athletes selected to national teams represent the USA in international rugby competitions around the world. In January 2012, USA Rugby began offering full-time training contracts to rugby sevens athletes. Currently 16 male and 16 female athletes live nearby the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California and train year-round under the guidance of the coaching staff. The development was unprecedented in American rugby as the 32 athletes are focusing full-time on increasing their competitive edge on the world stage, a nod to the future of sevens and the 2016 Olympic Games. Despite this recent development, a majority of USA Rugby's national team players hold jobs and juggle their professional and rugby careers. These remarkable athletes exhibit the ethos and passion inherent in rugby, and make large sacrifices to represent and play for their country. The Men's and Women's senior national teams are referred to as the Eagles. RUGBY AND THE OLYMPICS In October 2009, the International Olympic Committee announced that rugby sevens (the seven-a-side version of the game) will appear in the 2016 Olympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
