Welcome to the U11's My name is Ray Cox, Head Coach for the U11s at Windsor RFC and I’m delighted to welcome you to the 2007/2008 season. As with previous seasons, the focus for our squad is skills development and fun, both on and off the pitch. We hope that our players develop a true love of the game that will stay with them all of their lives. This is a transition year for our players as squad sizes increase from 9 to 12 with the addition of 2 players in the forward (locks) and 1 player in the backs (fullback). In addition, our players can kick the ball for the first time which will add an exciting new dimension to the game for them. We are always on the look out for new players, and regardless of ability or experience there is a game to be had by all. WRFC encourages competition, whilst fostering a sense of fair play. All registered players are evaluated after each session, based on attendance, ability and attitude. This forms the basis of squad selection for competitive fixtures, as well as movement between the two squads we maintain. See The good player’s code. All our coaches are qualified with the RFU, and are fully CRB checked to ensure a consistently high quality of coaching that always places safety and enjoyment first. Most of our coaches began by preferring to get involved, rather than simply watch from the sidelines, and we welcome and encourage parental involvement at all levels, be it as coaches, first-aiders, referees, or just vocal support! See The good parent’s code. In the interests of safety and appropriate behaviour, we would remind parents that they (or another nominated adult) are required to remain on hand during the training sessions/matches. I look forward to welcoming you to Windsor U11s soon. If you have any queries, comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to speak to any of the coaches, or contact me directly by e-mail on WindsorRFC.U11s@gmail.com.
