2024 NAI 7’s is a fun tournament that allows our teams to play against teams from ALL over the US, build bonds with their teammates & experience tour travel.
Tournament Details
Tournament Dates: July 26th – July 27th, 2024
Field location: Regional Athletic Complex, 2280 North Rose Park Lane, Salt Lake City, UT 84116
Player Costs: $225 – Payment Link
Players Costs are kept as low as possible at $225.00 BUT that fee does not cover all the costs to cover Tour so Fundraising/Sponsor outreach is mandatory for ALL players. With 3 teams going the costs are considerably more this year. We are attending as Liberty Rugby Club so fundraising, and costs are spread evenly between all teams and participation is expected by all. Links to ALL fundraisers will be sent in next couple days.
It is very important that every player pay their portion and participate in all fundraising opportunities. PLEASE HAVE A TALK WITH SCOTT WRIGHT OR ALLEN DODD IF ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED. I WILL NOT TURN AWAY A PLAYER FOR FINANCIAL REASONS SO WE CAN ARRANGE OR WORK SOMETHING OUT.
Departure and Return Timing:
Hotels and Travel Logistics:
Lodging details will be shared with each team member after they register for the event via email.
We will be driving vans from Renton to Utah. Vans will be staffed with a multiple adults to ensure we have plenty of management to go around. Be assured that we knjow where they are at ALL times and any travel away from the team is done in groups.
Lady Liberty players: This is our first trip to NAI’s. We will be traveling along with the boys teams in vans. We will have a separate van for the girls and will be staying at separate accommodations. Other than those minor adjustments, we are one club and will support each other throughout the weekend.
Fundraising to Support remaining costs:
Please follow link for additional information on sponsorship opportunities & benefits!
Players/Parents please share the fundraising campaigns &; sponsorship opportunities with friends, families, and co-workers. The more things are shared, the greater the opportunity to have costs covered in full.

Parents wanting to attend:
We encourage parents to attend the Tournament to watch their players as well as support the team! If parents do plan to attend, you will need to cover your own lodging and travel. We will provide lists of lodging options with special discounts etc
Parents are welcome to come hang out with us at the fields as well as come by where we are staying but be aware that we will have Player Meetings and Game discussions so players will be unavailable at some times.
On Saturday, parents are welcome to join us for dinner after our Team Tournament Debriefing. Time will be determined that day & communicated to families.
Feel free to email Scott at libertyrugbyhsd@gmail.com or talk with him when we meet if you have any questions.
While we will have fun while we are there, we do take this tournament and opportunity serious. We manage and expect things at the next level as that is where I would like every player to be. Either Club Rugby, College Rugby or Academy Teams. Last year we had 2 U18’s talked to by Davenport University as well as 5 of our U16 get on their radar. While winning is a goal, it is not our main goal.
