With the England Women's team now in Canada for the Women’s Rugby World Cup, the RFUW is looking forward to the development of players who will represent England in the future, and has announced the introduction of a U17 Talent Development Group (TDG) which will provide selected players with a thorough individual development programme.Following a series of "Talent Identification Days" in October , approximately thirty players will be invited to join the national "TDG"which will meet regularly throughout the year.
Players will receive:
- Core rugby skill development
- Game understanding
- Strength and Conditioning education and development workshops
- Nutritional advice
- Sports psychology
- Performance Lifestyle
- Online player diaries
- Player kit
Players from Hertfordshire who attended the U14 & U17 PDA’s in Guildford last summer will receive a letter inviting them to a "Talent Identification Day" ("TID") on 26th October, and county coaches will be invited to nominate ‘wild cards’ to the "TID" days. Selection and identification of players to attend the "TDG" will also be on-going throughout the season.
In February 2007, the RFUW also will be launching an U14 Talent Development Group - more information on this will be published nearer the time
