Many will have already started training, but the new rugby season officially starts on Sunday. Seems like it ended only yesterday!
This also means that county trials are barely a fortnight away - they are earlier in the seaosn than last year, and MUCH more important because they are now your gateway to regional selection. Regional trails will be a "closed" event this year - so if you are not put forward by your county coaches you will not be able to attend!
More details about how trails will work will appear next week, but they will be at Stevenage and the plan for the U17 selection at least is that it is likely based on game play, rather than just drills, with a 10-a-side inter-club tournament under discussion.
U14 selection should be much less formal, not least because many girls will have barely statred playing the game. Simply showing the commitment to attend the trials will count heavily in your favour - so come along, regardless of your experience!
Next week should also see a major announcement which should make selection for the U17 squad even keener. No more yet - but watch this space...
