Stanford FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/RUGBYCLUBMAG Youth “Youth rugby is hugely important to us a club. We pride ourselves on having a large number of boys and girls playing rugby at Stanford RFC. We have strong links with all our local schools and send in coaches as often as time allows to offer coaching and a taste of rugby. We gear our youth section up to embrace the core values of rugby, Teamwork, Discipline, Respect, Sportsmanship and Enjoyment, they are very important to us, as happy safe rugby players stay and play. The transition from youth to senior is a mine field of complications but one we are regularly looking at for ways to keep our youth players. Some of the bigger issues along with college and part time work is also the social life that comes with being 18. Towards the back end of their last year as youth players we have senior players attend their training sessions not to coach but to take part so that the boys get to know some of the older players better Stephen Taylor Sports Rehabilitation Whether you are a professional athlete or an enthusiastic amateur, we are here to help you return successfully from injury, optimise your performance and stay injury free.
