As in previous seasons we will aim to train on the Saturday of the Championship games and stay overnight in a hotel ahead of the games on Sunday.

Players from last season’s U20s and U18 squads have already been contacted to confirm their availability to be considered for selection.

 

Whilst we will not be holding formal trials this season, we will be considering applications from other players who are keen to fight for a place in the squad.

 

 

If interested players could send a brief rugby CV containing details on playing position, playing history and key achievements, to Mike Greenslade (U20’s manager)  at mikegrugby@gmail.com

 

 

 

  Commitments 

 

 

  Coaches to Players –

 

• We will do what it takes to give you the best chance of making the final at Twickenham and at the same time enable as   many of you as possible to get Divisional trials and ultimately England U20 Counties honours.

 

• We will not be holding formal trials as we already have good knowledge of capability of all eligible players from previous 20s and 18s squads. Will invite any new players that come on the radar to warm up games and sessions ahead of the Championship games

 

• We will do what we can to make sure players have suitable kit and stash. If anyone (players or parents) knows of a company or individual who would be interested in a sponsorship deal, then please let me know as soon as possible.

 

 

 Players – what we need from you

 

• Communications – Reply to messages and keep me updated on your availability, any injuries you pick up and where you will be going to University etc. If you need a different email address added to my list just let me know!

 

• Fitness and playing level – If you want to be part of the squad you really need to be playing regularly and at as high a level as you can, either for a senior  club/academy or for a strong University side.
