The Result;
The solution;
• Grow the game
• Continue to provide a quality environment to promote player engagement and development.
• Widening the talent base – Secondary school delivery (school – club links)
• Refocus towards talent development, not merely identification, that due to RAE is proven to be flawed
• Reducing those that “slip the net”
• Support community coaches with CPD and resources
Developing Coaches, Developing Players
A “national curriculum” for RL at U12 – U1424 sessions in 3 blocks of 8 – all now written & supported by CPD and a growing coaching support network
This will lead to:•Improved quality of the player
•Leave the player in their own environment longer – increased inclusivity
•More players getting more opportunities to demonstrate their potential
•Regular focused, player profiling.
