Women’s U20 West Camp set for next week

(LANGFORD, BC) –Rugby Canada will host the top 40 Under-20 athletes from all over Canada on April 29th – May 4th at Shawnigan Lake School for a training camp as part of preparations for the 2019 Tri Nations Cup.

The top 40 athletes have been selected from U-Sports XV and Sevens programs, regional and national team nominations, and various regional camps.

The camp will be used as a talent ID and selection tool as the Women’s Under-20 looks ahead to the Tri-Nations Cup. Following the camp, a long list will be established, and selected players monitored, as coaching staff work towards setting their 24-player Tri-Nations roster.

“Last year we made huge strides forward in our two-week Tri Nations campaign without being together prior to competition, so having the benefit of a pre-camp is something we are very excited for. Picking 40 players was not easy as we still have others outside the group vying for a place on our summer traveling squad, who are returning from injury or through performance with their regional and provincial teams,” said Women’s U20 head coach, Jack Hanratty.

“We are excited for this group of 40 to come together in Shawnigan and to gather momentum not only for this year but for the Senior Women’s world cup campaign.”

The U20 camp also offers opportunity for development ahead of the 2021 Women’s Rugby World Cup. Sandro Fiorino, head coach of the Senior Women’s XV, is working closely with the U20 program--looking for up-and-coming athletes to grow the program and potentially put their hand up for the World Cup team.

“I’m excited to see this year’s group of U20 athletes compete for a spot for this summer’s fixtures. The U20 program has produced many of current National Senior Women’s XV squad and will continue to do so.” said Fiorino.

The Tri-Nations Cup will take place this July with Canada will compete against England and USA.
