CHULA VISTA, CA. - USA Rugby has announced its Girls All America winter camp list of athletes.

The 96 invitees - 60 for U18 and 36 for U19 - will train at the U.S. Olympic Training Site in Chula Vista Dec. 26-31. 

The Girls High School All-Americans (U18) and rising Women’s Junior All-Americans (U19) will each end their camp with a collection of intrasquad matches on New Year’s Eve. The U18s will play two matches, one 15s and one 7s, while the U19s will play one 15s match. 

Athletes for each camp were selected from recent age-grade assemblies, Regional Cup Tournaments (U18), college and club competitions across the nation. Both girls camps will be led by Director of Girls High School All-Americans Martha Daines.

The rising Women’s Junior All-Americans will see four players return from the U20 Women’s Tri-Nations Cup in Cassidy Bargell, Tori Jones, Samantha Tancredi and Elizabeth Wilson. Accompanying them are five players from the recent Can-Am Futures Sevens tournament at the High School All-American level including Isabella Devore, Sophia Haley, Clara Lemal-Brown, Alexandra Pipkin and Nohea Uluave. 

A pair of cousins will join the Girls High School All-Americans in Amaya and Manaia Moala. The duo are two of three U18 girls who compete together with the South Bay Spartans. 

“Our goal for this camp was to cast as wide a net as possible, bringing in promising players from all around the country," said Daines. "This large group of athletes is incredibly diverse and will benefit by learning from each other in their intrasquad matches. For many players this will be the first national camp they’ve attended.  I’m looking forward to seeing how they all respond to the challenge and how much returning players have improved and grown since we saw them last.”

Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center VP of Business Operations, Spencer Jamison said: "We couldn't be more thrilled to host more than 150 up-and-coming rugby players in USA Rugby's winter camp at the training center. Our facilities have always been dedicated to providing athletes with the best environment to prepare for their futures as elite players. With so many Olympians on-site every day, the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center will foster an inspiring setting for these young women and men to absorb."
