THE RUGGERS EDGE CONTINUE PARTNERSHIP

Mar 1, 2018 – Denver, CO: The Rugger’s Edge and Study & Play USA are proud to continue their partnership for 2018. “As the popularity of studying and playing rugby in the U.S. continues to grow, working with a company like Study and Play USA was a natural next step for The Rugger’s Edge,” Karen Fong Donoghue, founder of The Rugger’s Edge said


“As a small, boutique advisement firm that prides itself on providing high-quality, individualized attention for my families, it would be impossible to provide the same quality of care to many more Australian families, especially due to the difference in time zones. Working with Study & Play USA ensures that those families are educated about our process and ensures their placements are truly the best fit for all. Study and Play USA has proven to be a trusted partner. We are so pleased with the level of advisement they have provided to their families and we look forward to continuing to collaborate for many years to come.”

Chris Bates, Talent Director of Study & Play USA is excited to continue collaborating with The Rugger’s Edge to provide the best advice for his students and families in Australia.“The opportunity for Australian rugby players to pursue their athletic and academic dreams in the US Collegiate System is the absolute opportunity of a lifetime. We are proud to be working with Karen to help Aussie rugby players have their best 4 year College experience both in the classroom and on the field. In our first year of collaboration, we have developed strong ties with several rugby programs, large and small, for student-athletes with varying budgets, playing levels and academic goals”
