If you truly care about the individual development of your players i/t foundation phase your players will rotate positions during the season. There’s no such thing as a 9-year old future centre back for example. Let them exploit & discover the total game! There is more to win! ⚽️

“At 12 years old I was told I would never play for my country, I was too small and not strong enough” by an England coach 😱😱😱 Message from Beckham to grassroots players, “just believe in yourself and love the game”

“The only pathways kids should be on until well into their teens are footpaths. The idea that a 12-year-old is on the pathway to a professional sports career is ridiculous and speaks only to parental obsession , not reality.” theconversation.com/children-have-…

“Kids will have periods where they plateau/or grow quickly,they improve rapidly/or get worse. All part o/t sporting process.The latter one is difficult for coaches&parents but reality. 1 thing is clear, current/early sporting performance isn’t a good indicator of future success.”

Wow we just scored a huge TRY!!! 🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉 Agreement signed with @TheRFL to support children's coaches together in England! Read all about it here and share with all the RFL family! icoachkids.eu/icoachkids-pro…

@chairmick As the rules were not to be shared with the wider game we were collating feedback from leagues to discuss and amend to produce the final version of rules for 2020. The rule would have therefore been amended before these were sent out and shared with the wider game.

@chairmick Leagues were asked not to share the rules with clubs as they weren't final and were asked to provide feedback via email.

@chairmick There was an error in point 8 when the proposals were set out originally to leagues, it had not been updated to mirror the U10 rules for 2019. There have since been further changes to that rule and others following feedback and discussion.

There seems to be some confusion around the PRL rules at U11s for 2020. These have yet to be finalised and will be a progression from the U10s rules in 2019. Teams will not complete a set of 6 regardless of errors or tries.

@ptglover @Julie_Devanney @barla1973 @TheRFL @ThattoRugby @ThattoU10 @chairmick Whatever you have seen these are not the final rules for U11s in 2020, they will not play out all 6 tackles regardless of errors or tries. The rules have yet to be finalised and released to the community game.

@Julie_Devanney @PrimaryRL @barla1973 @TheRFL @ThattoRugby @ThattoU10 @chairmick Send me your email @Julie_Devanney will send it Wholesale changes, taking children back in development (in my opinion). Play out all 6 tackles regardless of scoring or errors. A small pitch that will encourage big players to run over kids instead of using skills to exploit space

As a coach & a parent if these proposed Primary Rugby League rules get the nod I am taking my lad & coaching badge to Union! Football & union takeover Kids love the rules they have & kids are developing as they are. @PrimaryRL @barla1973 @TheRFL @ThattoRugby @ThattoU10 @chairmick

NEW BLOG - 'Early success? - Don't pack up for Hollywood just yet!' We all want our children to succeed, we all want them to be the very best they can be. It is also pretty cool if they are thriving with their sport at a young age. However... parentsinsport.co.uk/2019/07/02/ear…
