DEVELOPMENT

The Minis & Juniors section at Droitwich Rugby Club has a well established schools and representative development programme. Our players have gone on to represent the county and region at boys U14, U15, U16 and colts.

REPRESENTATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Droitwich has a comprehensive player development programme. Full encouragement and support is provided by the club for those players who aspire to play at county or higher levels. With Droitwich RFC coaches actively involved in the RFU county training programme we are able to provide our players with the best opportunity of experiencing representative rugby.

SCHOOLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Droitwich RFC has always considered itself part of the local community and have active coaches in the local schools providing rugby within the school environment. In conjunction with Wychavon Active Sports programme, we currently coach in all primary, middle and high schools within the local community.

COACH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

In every age group a coach has been on a child protection course and all our coaches have been DBS checked as part of their coaching responsibilities. All coaches are actively encouraged to attend RFU approved coaching courses and a structured development programme for coaches is used to identify and satisfy their requirements. This ensures that our coaching staff have the latest coaching information and techniques available. We also ensure that each age group has a head coach and at least one assistant coach.
