Golden Eagles Association
We help USA Sevens rugby athletes find success, on and off the pitch!
The Golden Eagles Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides financial support to the USA Rugby 7's players and programs to cover the costs of competition on the HSBC SVNS World Series, and at the Rugby World Cup Sevens and summer Olympic Games.
The Golden Eagles provide support for career advancement to the USA Rugby 7's athletes by helping to create opportunities for players to prepare themselves for a professional life during and after their rugby careers.
At the Golden Eagles Association, we know that sometimes all it takes to change a program is a little support. Since our founding in 2012, we have been determined to make an impact in the lives of our USA Rugby 7's players. The core of our efforts is to bring relief to the program and athletes so that they can focus on training, competing and medalling for Team USA.
We believe that we should help these athletes that have put their professional careers on hold to represent our country. Through fundraising and donations we can help relieve the stress these athletes incur while training to compete. By providing internships and connections to our athletes we can help them to prepare for their dreams after their playing careers are finished.
The Golden Eagles are looking for more members who are willing to make a substantial impact on the game they love. Join our ranks by pledging your support or lending your expertise. Please see the website for more details on how to get involved!

Help our Olympians build critical LIFE skills!
As a nation, we have fallen in love with the sport of Rugby, thanks to the tenacious women and men who represented our country in the 2024 Olympic Games! Now is the time to show them how much you care! C.A.R.E (Career Advancement Rugby Enhancement) is a dedicated program of the Golden Eagles Association that helps address hardships faced by players due to their commitment to the great sport of Rugby. Professional rugby careers are low-paying and short-lived. CARE provides access to career, financial, and life-skills training so all players can achieve success beyond the rugby pitch, when they decide to retire their jerseys. Alex (Spiff) Sedrick, says of CARE "the players are so grateful for the support, we depend on CARE to to explore career opportunities without the added burden of financial stress". Perry Baker has used his support from CARE to give back to the rugby community. For the past 5 years, Perry has been running Youth Rugby Camps across Southern CA, introducing rugby to hundreds of young girls and boys. He is keeping the game alive, while finding meaning in mentoring youth through sports and social/emotional development. Perry says of his involvement with CARE, "CARE has been essential in shaping my journey as an athlete and person. Through every challenge, it’s been a source of support, motivation, and growth. This program has helped me by providing a strong foundation of support and resources, which has impacted my athletic career and, more importantly, my transition into retirement." Donate today to provide essential support to our hometown heroes! Your contributions will help these incredible athletes continue to shine in their personal and professional lives, and allow them to forge meaningful career paths in preparation for when they hang up their cleats!
