Welcome to the Latest Community Game Update for ACTION Welcome to the latest Community Game Update 22 September 2017 The latest Community Game Update includes information on the following: For Action • Head Injury Assessment • Age Grade Codes of Practice For Information • National Rugby Survey • Referee Society RFU Voting Membership • Young Rugby Ambassador Regional Conferences 2017 • Painting of Twickenham FOR ACTION Head Injury Assessment We hope that start of the season has gone well for you. Player safety is an important area for all of us and we are grateful for all the work that is going on to manage any unfortunate incidents of concussion that may occur. We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that while the effective use of the Head Injury Assessment (HIA) process is being seen at the elite adult level of the game, it should be noted that HIAs must not be carried out during games other than those in competitions and matches, as approved by World Rugby: • Aviva Premiership • England Senior team internationals (men and women) • England U20 home internationals (men and women) • A-League • Greene King IPA Championship • Anglo-Welsh Cup • British and Irish Cup • European Champions Cup • European Challenge Cup All other matches and training involving adult male and female players (including the new women’s Tyrrells Premier 15s League) and all age grade activities must adhere to regulation 9, which states “any individual who exhibits any of the signs or symptoms of concussion should be immediately and permanently removed safely from the field of play, should not return to play that day, and it is recommended that they are referred to a medical or healthcare professional for assessment and advice.” To see Regulation 9 in full, click here. This must be adhered to irrespective of the qualification/profession of the individual providing the pitch-side first aid and/or immediate care provision. Following a suspected concussion player’s should follow the appropriate Return to Play protocols, whereby if they remain symptom free for 14 days, the player can gradually increase physical activity and can return to playing 19 days after the original incident if an adult, or after 23 days if in the U19 age group or younger. More information regarding suspected concussion management and the return to play protocols can be found on the HEADCASE pages of the ER website here. There is a free 30-minute online concussion education module which everyone involved in the game is urged to complete, there are bespoke modules for players, coaches, match officials, parents/guardians and teachers. Age Grade Codes of Practice Following the recommendations of the Age Grade Good Practice Group we are pleased to introduce the Age Grade Codes of Practice. The delivery of these Codes ensures a focus on the wants and needs of the Age Grade player. They ensure that every player, regardless of ability, maturity or size, develops not only their rugby skills, but wider personal and social skills, increasing their enjoyment and supporting their transition to the adult game. The Codes provide support and guidance coaches and teachers in: • Developing the whole player – to ensure holistic player development • Playing and training frequency – to address over and under playing and ensure a balanced rugby programme • Grouping of players – to ensure inclusivity and support individual player development • Playing out of age group – to enhance player development and confirm what is permitted in regulation • Out of season activity, camps and tours - clarifying regulation and requirements for camps and tours • Minimum standards for coaches and referees – detailing how coaches and referees can achieve best practice The Codes of Practice are designed to help and support those working hard across Age Grade Rugby. They support the application of regulation and replace previous guidance documents and it is our intention that everyone who delivers the Age Grade game feels compelled to commit to them. Over the coming weeks we will be releasing a series of videos to help promote these Codes and encourage coaches and teachers to buy into them by stating that they are “in”. Once released publicly, your support in promoting these Codes within your CB and encouraging commitment would be much appreciated in ensuring they become adapted and commonplace in the game – benefiting players as a result. Should you have any further questions on these Codes please contact us on [email protected] FOR INFORMATION National Rugby Survey Over 28,000 people completed the National Rugby Survey and Age Grade Player Survey earlier this year, making it the biggest community rugby survey of its kind. The next wave of the National Rugby Survey, which is now combined with the Age Grade Player Survey, is set to open next week and we will be sending emails to players, volunteers, coaches, match officials and fans, across the game, encouraging them to tell us their views. We will inform you as soon as the National Rugby Survey is live and would appreciate your time in completing the survey, telling us about your experiences across the game so we can continue to provide the best offering for all involved in rugby. Referee Society RFU Voting Membership A further nine referee societies have recently been accepted as voting members of the RFU. Click here for full details. This is part of implementing the recommendations of the Match Officials Blueprint and follows on from the Rugby Football Referees Union attaining CB status last year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either Michael Patz, RFU Match Official Development Manager ([email protected]) or your respective Match Official Development Officer (MODO). Young Rugby Ambassador Regional Conferences 2017 Four regional Young Rugby Ambassador conferences are running this autumn. CB volunteers are invited to attend to get to know YRAs from their local area and understand more about the YRA programme. The content of the workshop will focus on sustainable clubs, challenges faced in recruitment and retention of players and volunteers and solutions for how to overcome them. The conferences aim to enable YRAs to meaningfully support their local clubs with a view to moving to committee positions as future leaders of the game. The conferences will run on the following dates: • 29 October – Newcastle Falcons • 19 November – London Irish • 2 December – Wasps (Coventry) • 2 December – Exeter Chiefs Each conference will include a 3-hour workshop, lunch and a ticket to a Premiership fixture. If you are interested in attending a conference near you, please contact Jenny Box, Volunteer Engagement Manager, [email protected], for more information and venue details. Additionally, your support in promoting the conferences to young volunteers, coaches, referees and administrators in your CB is much appreciated. Painting of Twickenham In October 2014, the large painting of Twickenham that hung on the staircase in the Spirit of Rugby was replaced by the First World War painting of the 1914 England team. The painting of Twickenham by Jennifer Conley is now looking for a new home in the game. Click here for an image of the painting which is 9 foot squared. Please write to [email protected] by 13 October if you have a venue large enough to house the painting and are interested in giving it a new home. It would require collection from the stadium. .

  • PLAYER PATHWAY GUIDANCE: U18s CB to Centres of Excellence 2017/18
    PLAYER PATHWAY GUIDANCE: U18s CB to Centres of Excellence 2017/18 RFU Women and Girls Player Pathway CB rugby plays an integral part in the identification and development of female rugby players and is a vitally important part of the pathway. Through involvement in the CB programme not only will more players have access to the player pathway but more players will receive high quality coaching and increased playing opportunities. The CB programme should be seen as a step up from club rugby. At this stage of the player pathway there is a large focus on potential rather than performance as it is recognized that for the vast majority of the players CB rugby will be the first selective environment and they will not be anywhere near the finished article. When coaches are nominating players for Centre of Excellence trials a players potential should be considered alongside the performance elements of the selection criteria. Nomination of Players from U18 CB Rugby to Centre of Excellence Assessment Days This is a very important part of the RFU Women and Girls player pathway and the CB coaches play a lead role in the nomination process. Players should be assessed during training and in matches using the Assessment Criteria on the next page. Coaches are not expected to assess players on every aspect of the selection criteria and should use their coaching experience to make an informed decision based on the evidence they see during all sessions and matches. The Performance Pathway Officers (PPOs) are available as support in this process but the CB coaches are expected to carry out the assessment process and final nominations should be submitted by CB managers by Friday 8th December 2017.
