One of Twenty Five

Dylan tried out for the Old Glory Academy with a 120 kids on Sunday and ended up being one of the 25 they invited to be part of the team. In case you aren't up on how professional sports academy's work, I added some language from their website.  

"As Old Glory becomes established as a professional organization in USA Rugby and the MLR, it is important we start growing the franchise's high-performance pathway," said Head Coach Andrew Douglas. "The Old Glory Academy is an essential step in that pathway. It gives high school players a genuine avenue to professional rugby. It exposes them to professional coaching and practices that will not only make them successful rugby players but, more importantly, better people."

It will be a lot of practices for now but they plan to play the other professional clubs academy teams up and down the east coast this summer. Dylan is pretty excited to be chosen and can't wait to get started, which would be this coming Sunday.
