Re: School of Rugby
As ECRU’s School of Rugby prepares to enter it’s second season, there are likely to be opportunities for suitably qualified coaches to join the coaching team in the 2008-9 season and enjoy the benefits of additional coach education in an elite environment.
ECRU SoR currently operates one centre at Culford School, near Bury St Edmunds and another at Swaffham RFC in Norfolk.
The SoR curriculum comprises 9 separate coaching modules, which are currently delivered at monthly midweek evening coaching sessions, commencing August/September.
There may be the opportunity for successful coaching candidates to become involved in the preparation of ECRU match squads at U14, U15 and U16.
The positions are unpaid but will provide the successful applicants a unique opportunity to develop their coaching skills through a programme of continuous personal development in conjunction with the RFU and the coaching staff of Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers, while working with highly experienced local coaches and a group of similarly able young players.
Applicants should hold a minimum of a current RFU L2 qualification or demonstrate the willingness and ability to gain such a qualification in a short time.
Interested parties should email their coaching c.v to nick.pressling@btconnect.com

Letter sent to U15's November
Re: School of Rugby – U15 players only
Due to the playing commitments at the Under 15 age we believe it necessary to change to the programme.
In the New Year ECRU U15s play a competitive fixture in the London Division series of inter-County matches. The coaches for these fixtures are ECRU coaches who are planned to only have two sessions with the players to identify positions, assemble units, coach unit skills and develop a game plan before each fixture. As SoR development is essentially, non-positional, some arrangements have to be made to assess the players for positional compatibility and develop squad unity.
Whilst the dates will not change for your age group the venue will:-
Session 5 Mon 19th November 6.30pm – 8pm Thetford RFC – a full briefing will be given
Session 6 Mon 17th December “ “
Session 7 Mon 21st January “ “
Session 8 The original programme continues
