The Rugby Pathways Wolves are heading back to Salt Lake City, Utah in July 2027 to compete in the famous North American Invitational (NAI) 7s tournament, and this time it is the boys chance to show their skills and experience the sights and sounds of America.Â
Building off the amazing interest for our 2026 Girls NAI 7s Tour and our Girls tour to the Tropical 7s in March 2027, we’ve been listening and we are very excited to offer our first boys 7s tour to compete at an international tournament.Â
If your son has ever wanted to experience America, an international rugby 7s tournament or just looking for an excuse to escape the Australian Winter, we have put together a tour that you’ll remember for every.Â
We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest for boys in either the Under 16 team (players born after Sept 1, 2010) or Under 18 team (players born after Sept 1, 2008).
The NAI 7s will see our young men go up against some of the best players in the world under the watchful eyes of US College Rugby scouts, USA Eagles scouts and 7s specialist academies all taking in the action at the Regional Athletic Centre, Salt Lake City, Utah.

One of the truly unique aspects of a Rugby Pathways tour is that we encourage all our tour players to sell sponsorship on their individual playing kit.Â
The way it works is that we will provide you with a prearranged areas on the following items for which you can sell sponsorship. Once you confirm all the sponsors we will have all your kit below printed to reflect your sponsors and once in camp organise a photo shoot that you can then share across your network.Â
Our estimates have shown that players and their families can sell upwards of $4,450 worth of sponsorships across the tour merchandise, which can reduce the cost of the tour by up to 55%.Â
The following items of Tour Merchandise can be used to display sponsorship
- Playing jersey
