Preparing for Life as a Freshman College Rugby Player: Pre-Departure Guidance

Are you packing your bags and counting down the days until your freshman season kicks off this summer? Transitioning from a standout domestic rugby player to an elite college student-athlete is a big step, which is why FirstPoint USA is hosting an exclusive pre-departure webinar designed just for you. We are bringing together two college rugby players who have excelled in their own freshman season, and who were in your shoes this time last year: Brown University’s Cameron Kean, winner of an Ivy league title, and National Championship winning Southern Nazarene University star, EJ Bowdler.

This session will serve as your ultimate pre-departure checklist. Our student-athlete panel will share first-hand hints, tips, and crucial packing and paperwork guidance to ensure nothing gets left behind. More importantly, they will give their insights on what to realistically expect the moment you step off the plane—from handling the intensity of your first official fitness sessions to mastering your schedule during those critical first few weeks on campus. Don't head into your freshman summer guessing; join us to get the best blueprint for your new student-athlete life.
