THE BRITISH MACKIE FP AEROPLANE COMPANY Coaching staff overseeing their junior section are confident that a number of them have the potential to have a successful future in the game. It will certainly be exciting to see how they are able to develop over the coming years. Mackie Academy FP’s disappointing league season should not take away from the good work that has been getting done at the club. Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come and everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck. In order to help ease junior players into senior level rugby Mackie Academy FP also runs more than one team. This allows them to give players experience of the adult game even if they are not yet considered ready for first team action which can be an important step in the development process. Another benefit of running extra teams is that it allows the first XV to benefit from far greater strength in depth. If they are ever left short on numbers through injury or work commitments they have the option of calling players up with a limited amount of disruption. They can also use these teams to ease players back into action when they are returning from injury.
