Sussex RFU Player Development Pathway 2008
 District Player Development Programme

All Sussex Schools
All Sussex Clubs (Junior Sections)

Building on the success of last season new look, District Player Development Programme (DPDP), Sussex RFU are now seeking nominations for the 2008 Summer DPDP.
 Nominations are invited from ALL Schools and Clubs
and should be made using the nomination form. (click here)

The Summer DPDP is aimed at those players demonstrating an above average standard of Handling, Running and Contact skills.

The programme is designed at assessing and developing these attributes and forwarding those players of appropriate standard on to the County Development squad. It is unlikely that Schools or Clubs will have more than a handful of players in this category, in the past Clubs have nominated over 20 players per age group, resulting in many players being disappointed when they fail to meet the standards required.

It is recognised that all players, particularly those at these ages, require developing, but this programme is targeting the top 20% and therefore 5 or 6 from a club or school would be regarded as the exception and not the norm.

 The Programme is run over 4 centres, one per Rugby Development Partnership area.

 Each Session runs from 6.30pm to 8.00pm on each date.

 Please Note: 4^th June & 2^nd July @ Brighton RFC dates to be confirmed.

The next stage of the 2008 DPDP will be two trials to form the County Development Squads
for Under 13’s and U14 for season 2008/09.  These trials will take place at:

East Grinstead RFC for South East and Central RDP’s                 9^th July
Worthing RFC for South and South West RDP’s                          9^th July

Following these trials the County Development Squads for both age groups will undertake
 a full and comprehensive programme of skill and player development
 throughout the 08/09 season.       
In order to run the development programme, participants are requested to pay a nominal fee of £20.00; this covers the provision of coaching and facilities and purchase of Water Bottles and T-shirts. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Sussex RFU’ and returned with nomination forms

All Nominations are to be returned to the CB Office NO LATER THAN 24^th May 2008.

 Anyone requiring additional information is requested to contact the RDO Office
