Name/Identity:
This is to change from Mid Wales to Gogledd Cymru South to encompass the larger provincial area now covered.
Structure:
Gogledd Cymru South – Gogledd Cymru East – Gogledd Cymru West
Provincial at U12’s – U13’s – U14’s, – Gogledd Cymru at U15’s – Gogledd Cymru RAG at U16’s - U18’s – U20’s, Gogledd Cymru Senior rugby.
2009/10 Season.
Provincial games are to be played on the last Sunday of each month and as such club are requested not to arrange fixtures on that day or any other day during that weekend.
At U12 and 13’s there will be home and away fixtures against both Gogledd East and Gogledd West plus two development days and one match arranged by the provincial age grade team.
U14’s as above but with a selection tournament on the last Sunday in March to pick around 50 players for the Gogledd Cymru 2010/11 U15 squad.
At U 14’s they are also to take part in the Welsh provincial 10’s Tournament at the University of Glamorgan on Saturday 5th of September.
No central funding was available at this time and it would need to be a self sufficient province, to this end all are ask to seek sponsors to enable the running costs and playing kits to be covered.
The ideal management set up would be as follows and Dave asked if all willing applicants would contact him in the first instance. Team Manager, Head coach, 2 x Assistant Coaches and a Sponsorship Manager.
Incentives to fill the above posts could include a chance to proceed to the RAG coaching or management staff, exclusive CPD coaching nights, Gogledd Coaching sportswear, centrally funding course cost.
The large geographical area would lead itself to a two centre training base (each age group to decide club centres based on; suitability of area to player ratio, available equipment and ground facilities), it would be a prerequisite that squad members would have to attend both evenings to maintain his place within that squad.
It was stated that we are to target the U12’s 13’s and 14’s in the first instance and any further resources could then be allocated to the U15 & 16’s teams which are optional at present due to the limited number of coaches.
