EIRA Prospects

In following our mission to identify and develop the next generation of rugby players in America, EIRA is accepting nominations of athletes who wish to improve their skill, ability and mental approach to rugby. If you are interested or know someone who is interested, please share this link.

Academies and Clinics provide the necessary skill development.  Continuity with this development is

provided through winter camps and summer tours.  EIRA believes ongoing skill development combined with international tours not only provides the individual player personal experience of the fast-paced skilled game of other nations, but also enhances the development of their home club with this new-found knowledge.
