ABOUT THE WOLVES
The Brighton Wolves under 14’s age group is for those boys who are in Year 9 at school and offers players of all standards a positive and welcoming environment where they can develop and challenge themselves both on and off the field.
The Wolves U14’s age group is ably supported by 3 England Rugby Level 2 qualified coaches, Scott, Paul and Robin. This ensures players are in the best position to gain knowledge, understanding and skills within structured, planned and progressive training sessions. As coaches, our aim is to help develop our players greater understanding of the game using five key component coaching areas, namely Player skills, technical requirements, tactical understanding and mental and physical preparedness - all under the umbrella of the RFU’s core values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship (TREDS).
Our Wolves badge is the identity for our age group. We use it to highlight what our team represents and it provides us with a point of recognition on our team culture and style of play and, as a result, it helps in the development and growth of our group as we move forward.
SAFETY
Player safety is paramount with training always focused on proper technique, to ensure injuries are kept to a minimum. Two of the 3 coaches are Emergency First aid in Rugby Union (EFARU) qualified and we are always looking to participate in RFU safeguarding and eLearning courses to ensure players have the safest environment available during coaching sessions and match days.
EVENTS
As coaches we try keep the playing schedule as busy as possible. This year we aim to fill the calendar with a variety of team building events, weekends away playing out-of-town clubs, opening matches for the 1st XV, trip up to London to watch Gallagher Premiership games at Twickenham and an end-of-season tour. This provides an opportunity for building bonhomie and team unity.
