DEVELOPING THE FUTURE PLAYER DEVEOLPMENT CENTRE The primary objective of Scotland Rugby League is to implement a system to develop Scottish based players to progress to full international level. It also includes the potential of talented players progressing to professional playing careers. The PDC programme forms a key stepping stone in Scotland Rugby League‟s player pathway, providing a development environment for up to over 30 players nationwide. To this end Scotland Rugby League has established and is embracing the following philosophy, which should be exhibited in all player development activities: Player focused, Coach enhanced, Environment Supported. Player Focused: The Primary concern is our decision making and planning must be the player. This does not involve „spoon feeding‟ information and services to the player, rather working with them to identify those needs and fulfill them to develop a complete player. Coach Enhanced: Every coach at each level should enhance the experience for every player. This can be achieved through quality of delivery, quality of experience of quality of service. Environment support: Every player should engage the appropriate environment to fit their individual development needs at the appropriate time. 8 Annual report 2009 - 10 SECTION 2 DEVELOPMENT The 2010 Rugby League Conference (Scottish Division) saw two new clubs enter, Ayrshire Storm and Falkirk providing an eight team competition covering the length and breadth of Scotland.

    (Application reference: EAC/18/2011/026) AGREEMENT EAC-2011-xxxx ANNEX I DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION Title of the Project: European Rugby League Governance Foundation Project Beneficiary: European Rugby European Federation Partners: Česká Asociace Rugby League Rugby League Deutschland Federazione Italiana Rugby League Latvijas Regbija Ligas Federacija Nederland Rugby League Bond Svensk Rugby League Förening Rugby Football League Fédération Française de Rugby à XIII Wales Rugby League Scotland Rugby League Rugby League Ireland Summary of the project objectives and activities: CONTEXT Since the adoption of its new constitution and eight-year strategy [both promulgated in August 2010] the RLEF is committed to disseminate best practice in the area of governance throughout its Membership, many of whom are inexperienced NGBs to whom the importance of good governance may not be immediately obvious. MAIN OBJECTIVES To address this, the Governance Foundation Project [GFP] has created a tiered Membership structure of the RLEF – Bronze [Observer status], Silver [Affiliate Member], Gold [Full Member] – where best practice and the principles of good governance will be promoted, and the cooperation between partners will develop the European dimension throughout rugby league, itself a young sport on the Continent, [foundation date of January 2003]. Use of Mentors and Learners provides innovation. ACTIVITIES In addition to utilising the Mentor-Learner system inherent in the GFP throughout a series of transnational exchanges, the project will utilise partnerships with more established European sports, namely football, to explore and cultivate good governance, using a series of seminars, technical visits and on-line tutorials and resources such as e-learning. RESULTS The objectives of the GFP are in line with the RLEF strategy, strengthening capacity building throughout and specifically elevating Learners from Bronze to Gold by project completion.

That excitement stemmed not only from the on-field action, but also the realisation that the sport is on the threshold of one of the most significant periods in its international history – a period in which the RLEF is positioned to play a major part. The RLEF’s fundamental role – to develop the sport in Europe and the surrounding territories that temporarily fall under our jurisdiction – has never been more important It is significant to note that, following than it is now, with rugby league keen to Lebanon and Serbia’s elevation in 2012, we broaden its global footprint while are now starting to see non-traditional rugby understanding the need to do so in a countries reaching this level of maturity for sustainable and efficient manner.
