_Well not nearly as cold as advertised - around 15 C 60 F - very nice change to the winter weather up island. Arrived in one piece - and set up the latest build of ScrumMaster art - to feature our 7s line of gear - The PowerTrainer Series.

Met with a lot of keen coaches who are building new 7s programs in High School - primarily becuase of the Olympic focus. This is certainly happening in Canada as well - though not to the same level of intensity.

With our well thought out line of equipment - schools who were not even considering a rugby program a few years ago are going the 7s route - and it looks like this will be the start of an interesting few years of development in the US school system.

Doing some out side coaching - using our equipment - hope to have some pics and vid later on Sunday.

That's it for now,

Kevin

_Headed to Atlanta, Georgia this  morning via Seattle to attend the national High School Athletic Director's conference. Showing off our ContacTrainer - and our new Accustat™ Gauge to rugby coaches from around the US.

It will be good to catch up with Ric Suggitt - former Canadian team sevens and fifteens coach - who is now having a lot of success with the USA women's team. He is presenting some coaching theory along with USA Rugby CEO Nigel Melville.
