The American Raptors are a rugby club composed of crossover athletes. The athletes that make up the Raptors have competed at the highest level of their respective sports. Coming from backgrounds in football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, soccer, and track & field, these athletes possess all the necessary skills to excel at the game of rugby. By placing them in a full-time rugby training environment, we hope to expedite their development and inject the United States national team with elite talent to help them compete on the global stage and eventually win the Rugby World Cup.
