The Falcons roster selected to represent the USA at this year’s tournament blends promising talent from the underages Pathways camp with experienced depth from the senior Men’s Sevens program. Athletes earned their selection following strong performances at the U23s camps and TID events
Joined by members from the senior Men’s Sevens squad, Faitala Talapusi makes his return from injury to Captain the side, bringing proven leadership to the field as he gains match minutes coming off a rehab period. He is accompanied by Rand Santos and Aaron Faison who will both add valuable game time to build on the momentum of their USA Eagles debuts at the SVSN World Championships circuit this past season.
The remainder of the squad features invitees identified through ongoing scouting and strategic discussions with club coaches following national championship competitions and regional tournaments leading into Denver.
Looking forward to putting this fresh talent on stage, Head Coach, Valenese Malifa commented;
“The primary objective for the Falcons this weekend centers on holistic athlete development, immersing players in team systems, and embedding the core standards required of world-class teammates.”
"We are going out there to compete. We aren't looking too far ahead regarding outcomes, but we trust that if we are disciplined in our process and detail, and work hard for each other, the results will take care of themselves."
