vRugby Eastern Counties RU  Young Leaders Training & Volunteering Programme

The vRugby Eastern Counties Leaders Training & Volunteering Programme hosts 30 of the best 16-19 year old young leaders within Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk .

ECRU are now looking to select Young leaders from across the counties. Those selected will gather at Burwell House for an action-packed day to kick off the training and volunteering programme on 26^rd – 27^th October 2011.

The day focuses on the development of leadership skills through Rugby Union, offering a good blend of practical and theory-based sessions. There will be two key areas of leadership focused on during the day; coaching and club development.  Each area will be facilitated by tutors who specialise within their section of sports development.

After the Young Leaders Day, the Young Leaders will go on to join their local vRugby team and lead vRugby projects & activities at their local clubs.

The Young Leaders Training & Volunteer Programme has set aims to achieve. These are:

• To inspire young leaders to go into the county and organise projects & activities as part of the vRugby programme.
• To give young volunteers the opportunity to develop teamwork and leadership skills.
• To help young volunteers gain valuable qualifications to support their rugby delivery.
