Why does the RFUW run a Regional Programme?

 

The regional programme aims to provide every player with the opportunity to maximise their potential and be ‘the best they can be’ at all levels of the game.

 

Senior Programme Ethos:

 

·         In the 09/10 season the Regional Programme is considered as a step up from club (and in some cases county or CB) rugby

·         It is a development opportunity for players and volunteers alike

·         It is an integral part of the Player Pathway as the Regional Programme feeds into the High Performance Academies which, in turn, is the selection process for the Super 4s leading to the England Squads for both England U20s and the Seniors (see Player Pathway on Page 2)

 

Junior Programme Ethos:

 

·         The Programme is a step up from club and county / CB rugby

·         The Programme presents the necessary opportunity for U15s and U18s to play in quality full-sided games

·         It is a development opportunity for players and volunteers alike

·         It provides essential quality competition for girls who are involved with many other sports

·         It is a step on the Player Pathway (see Player Pathway on Page 2)
