Following the success of both phases, the project will roll over into 2011/12. The delivery element of the project will modify and expand with the sponsorship allowing students to be trained to both coordinate the planning and also lead the execution of the coaching sessions.
Additionally, through the link with the RFU the project will take on a new feature, utilising the trained students to create a physical link with a local club. Each student will be based with a club to assist in the coaching and development of both the girls and junior teams. It is also hoped that through this support and links with the local clubs and RFU a Newcastle based girl’s team will be developed.
The support of the county structure and delivery of the ‘development days’ will also continue utilising our student and staff coaches as well as the quality facility Bullocksteads provides.
Look out for updates!
