Salty Thompson and Michael Engelbrecht were in Durban coaching the High School All-American rugby tour, and together with Robin Reid—Durban local, President and CEO of Aircraft Charter Solutions and a rugby-enthusiast—they decided to respond to the growing interest in rugby among young American athletes. Salty, Michael and Robin knew it was time to elevate the game of rugby in the United States—in both popularity and quality of play. With Reid’s financial investment and a blessing from Nigel Melville, President of USA Rugby, Salty and Michael left their jobs in education and information technology in order to fully invest themselves in scouting and training the best rugby athletes across the country, preparing them to play at the national level.
