EMRU president Derek Watkins presents Chairman of
Mini & Youth John Cresswell with the RFU Seal Of Approval |
Following 18 months of hard work by Chairman of Mini & Youth John Cresswell and his team which included Jennie Thomas, Gary Thomas & Clive Stallwood working together with RFU RDO Sam Rouse our Mini & Youth section has been awarded RFU 'Seal Of Approval' accreditation.
The RFU introduced the Mini and Youth Seal of Approval accreditation programme as a method of examining, maintaining and improving the provision of rugby in the mini and youth section of a rugby club. Building upon current good practice, the accreditation aims to recognise the effort and achievement of those clubs that reach, maintain and improve on the required standard of a club committed to the provision of quality rugby union experiences for young players.
 The RFU has worked with Sport England to integrate the Mini and Youth Seal of Approval accreditation with the Sport England Clubmark scheme to ensure that the safe, effective, child-friendly club standards are met. Any club awarded the Community Rugby Mini and Youth Seal of Approval will also have achieved Clubmark accreditation.
With more than 350 registered youth players, Ampthill's outstanding record of achievement at MIni & Youth level inludes 9 players from 3 different age groups playing Guinness 'A' rugby for Northampton, Saracens, Gloucester & Leeds in the last three years, multiple caps for England at U16, U18 & U20 level over the same period and 10 players from the 2005 RFU U17 National Plate winning side playing competitive league rugby for the 1stXV.
