Regional Program Each season the RFUW provide resources for a regional program of coaching and matches for talented players at all age groups, across each region of England. (11 regions in total). The aim of the program is to identify and develop talented players, leading to higher playing standards across the country. This is done by providing dedicated and specialist coaching sessions, fixtures against other regions and for the U18’s & U15’s, a place at the National Regional Festival in May. See also the RFUW Rationale document. Details of all the coaches and adminstrators, many who are volunteers is on the contacts page.
Trials As squad sizes are limited, the first stage of the program is to hold a trial of all interested players. Those players selected at each of the age groups will then be involved in the program, details of the dates and venues are given here below.
