"Even when I was a national team coach, I never attended an event this big, of such maginitude and the talent out here is just excellent."

"5 years ago I was lucky to Coach and participate in the 1st Tropical 7s Rugby Tournament in Orlando with a combined HS Girls team, This is and was the best Youth 7s tournament. Many of these ladies are now College graduates from West Point, Life U, FSU, UF, Lindenwood U. USF, we have National 15s and 7s Champions in this group as well as one USA Rugby player. Many are now playing Women's rugby and giving coaching a consideration. I believe all these women are all Champions and they made me so proud to Coach them in 7s and 15s.  It is one of my fondest memories of my years having been involved with Rugby since 1990."

Matt Wells, Florida Youth Rugby Coach
