About Us
"Find the future of rugby"
​
We are innovating rugby in America by providing never-before rankings of up-and-coming talent in high school rugby.
Prep Rugby Watch began as an original idea during a Rugby Advisory Group meeting in the MLR. PRW's founder and lead assessor, Brandon Sparks, was a member of this board and debated with other league leaders about the most effective way to identify talent.
​
Discouraged by the tournament model most often used in rugby, Brandon felt there had to be a more effective way to see a larger talent pool. This led to the creation of Prep Rugby Watch.
​
Our dedicated team works to create a hub where players can be seen, coaches can recruit, and fans learn about the next big stars in rugby!
​
Our player rating system is based on established player profiles collected from data points worldwide. It is updated after every Rugby World Cup to ensure it is up to date with the modern game.
