SECTION 1. GUIDELINES FOR UNIONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
YOUNG PLAYERS
A. Introduction – Mission
To assist Unions in devising programmes for the development and training of young players within their jurisdiction the IRB has developed
Guidelines on the development of young players, incorporating a Young Player Protocol and an Explanatory Note on compensation for young player training and development activities.
In producing the Guidelines the objective of the IRB is to:
(i) encourage Unions, Clubs, Rugby Bodies, schools and colleges to attract as many young players as possible to participate in the sport of Rugby Union without prejudice to their educational needs;
(ii) to encourage the introduction of coaching and training programmes
that promote the development of young players; and
(iii) Reward Unions, Clubs and Rugby Bodies (and volunteers) that make a commitment
and investment in developing future generations of Rugby Union players.
B. Integrated Approach
Unions, Clubs and Rugby Bodies should work and liaise closely with
schools, colleges and Clubs, (and Volunteers) at all levels, to ensure that Rugby Union is perceived as a positive experience for potential young players. Unions, Clubs and Rugby Bodies should also work to establish and maintain good relationships with local schools, colleges and community centres (and volunteers) to
encourage participation and to help minimise the potential for conflict between the interests and activities of school/ representative rugby and Club rugby, paying particular regard to the dangers of over-commitment to one activity but to keep the integrity and spirit of the game at all levels, for all deliverers and participants for all ages.
Furthermore we would like to remind you of the Human Rights Act and the freedom of speech.
Love the Rugby Volunteers.
