One more addition to our roundup of West Seattle summer camps (initiated after some camp providers sent word they still had room for kids to sign up): 2-time Rugby 7s World Cup Champion Waisale Serevi and his team from Serevi Rugby are teaching “the basics of seven-a-side rugby” in four sessions at Hiawatha Playfield this summer. The introductory camps are for ages 7-18, both genders. More info and online registration at serevirugby.com. (Our previously published list of camps is here – no guarantees they all still have room, but if you’re looking, it’s worth checking!)

Rugby is a fast paced, action packed game. As an Aussie ex-pat, I love to watch the game. Send your kids down, they will love it :)

The US will be defending the Olympic Gold Medal in Rugby in 2016 in Rio. There is a GREAT chance we could see some Olympians in the photo.

Thank you for posting this! This will be an excellent camp (non-contact under 14) for an amazing price – safe, fun and active.

Current & Former members of the USA & Fiji National team will be in attendance.

Waisale Serevi is the Pele of Rugby 7’s. Big, big star–very talented. And, Fiji is a major contender in the Rugby 7’s field–when we lived there, Fiji won the Melrose Cup. What a time to be there! Blinkyjoe is correct: it will be at 2016 Olympics.

Sorry, comment time is over.
