The Charlotte Cardinals proudly congratulate our very own Rocco Loprestti on earning an Academy Contract with French rugby giants SU Agen Lot-et-Garonne (“Agen”), beginning in the spring of 2027.

Rocco has been a standout Cardinal from day one — recently touring South America with the USA U18 squad and playing a pivotal role in the Cardinals Red side’s 2026 National Championship victory.

We couldn’t be more excited for Rocco as he continues his remarkable rugby journey. The entire Cardinals family wishes him every success in this next chapter

Cardinals in Uruguay & Argentina 💥💥💥

Proud of our boys and the team on a fantastic trip.

A close loss to Uruguay, a win against Brazil and not to be in game 3. Safe travels to all the boys, families and coaches.

*Youth (elementary/middle)*
- ⁠kicking
- ⁠proper passing/catching
- ⁠communication
- ⁠space awareness
- ⁠decision making
- ⁠fun

*High School*
- take your game to next level
- ⁠USA pathway drills
- ⁠decision making under pressure
- ⁠kicking
- ⁠work rate into position
- ⁠college, next level, next season prep
- ⁠fun

I am personally VERY excited about leading the Camp with several of our Cardinals Coaches, past players AND USA Eagles.

This version will not only focus on introducing kids to rugby BUT helping our kids play at *the next level*, whether that be College, USA, HS or higher age group.

The amount of colleges seeking our Cardinals (both girls and boys) is unbelievable. Not just in the US, but abroad.

Time to prepare our kids for a new season while most importantly, having a blast doing it.
