INTRODUCTION FROM HRFUW
What is County Rugby?
Club Hampshire runs the County Programme.  The 'season' runs from the selection trial on Sunday 25th September 2011 to the end of December 2011.  From this there will be squads created for both the U15 and U18 squads and also the Women's team.  In all age groups, there will be a Training squad from which a playing squad will be selected for each fixture.  We cannot guarantee that by being part of the training squad you will automatically be selected to play in the fixtures.  There will be two County games within the Under 15 and Under 18 programme, and a festival, with three fixtures for the Women's Team..  In order to progress along the Player Pathway, players will only be nominated from the County Squad.  The RFUW has clearly stated that to be considered for Divisional and National Squads nomination, you must be in the County Training squad.  You cannot be nominated by a school or club for Divisional Rugby.

Squad size
The County Selection process will be completed in September and players will be notified of their outcome.

The squads this year will operate in the following way:

1)  Your commitment
We would strongly advise that all players who would like to be selected to play need to show commitment to playing rugb at a Club within Hampshire.  It has been identified that players development is greatly improved with regular 'CLUB' rugby.  The development opportunity at County level need to be underpinned with all players having good core skills, e.g. ability to pass, knowledge of player position, commitment to taking the tackle, ability to run onto the ball etc.

The County Coaching squad are in regular contact with Club Coaches and the players attendance will be checked to ensure that you are playing and attending training.

2)  Kit
For matches you will be issued with a playing shirt and County Socks.  You are required to supply blue cotton rugby shorts.  It is suggested that you purchase a pair of Club Hampshire shorts from the online County shop.

This shop also sells Club Hampshire branded training and leisurewear, which you are able to purchase.  The County Ship is within the HRFU website (www.hampshirerugby.co.uk).

Post match you are expected to wear a 'Hampshire Rugby Polo shirt (available from the website) and blue/black trousers and shoes.

A logon for the site is available from your County Manager.

Players selected for the Squad are eligible to join the 4SM programme.  This costs £40 per player.  4SM is a sports fast track physiotherapy service offered to County Athletes, which is delivered at either BASIC or Southampton General Hospital.

3)  Training
You are expected to attend with suitable warm clothing.  You are advised to bring your own drink and munchies for the journey home.

4)  Player pathway
What is this?

It's the pathway that a player can progress along, and there is the possibility that as an Under 15 player you are just five years away from an England shirt!

After the completion of the County Programme, the most talented athletes will be nominated to attend a Divisional Selection Day in January 2011.  It is planned to hold Development Days post December for those not selected to the Divisional Squad.
