RFU Community Game Update January 2019.
Following speculation around a proposed removal of CB Age Grade rugby, David Ewing (Chair of the RFU’s Player Development Sub-Committee) has written to CBs and Clubs to provide an update on current positioning and an upcoming consultation process.
The delivery of Age Grade rugby alongside CB pathway activity is a complex process. The impact of participating in simultaneous programmes on player welfare, player retention and Age Grade rugby at clubs can be significant, including:
• overplaying / over-training
• prioritising club / school / academy / CB activity
• programmes operating outside the agreed structures as stipulated in the Age Grade calendar
• loss of understanding from stakeholders as to the purpose of the CB pathway
