No rugby experience is necessary, as our focus is on developing players’ skills throughout the season.</p><p>Rugby uses a ‘building block’ approach and aims to equip players with the skills they need as they build towards the XV-a-side game. Season by season players learn new aspects of the game – you can find out more about this by clicking the link below and visiting the <a href="http://www.englandrugby.com/mm/Document/General/General/01/31/97/11/AgeGradePlayerProgessionJune2016_English.pdf">RFU’s website</a>.</p><p>The focus we follow is:</p><p>1.
