Who can take part?
The main aim of Millfield rugby is to develop individual players in an
enjoyable and challenging environment. At least three teams compete in
each age group so physically smaller players can develop without being
overpowered by those who have had an early growth spurt. Players are
monitored carefully, regardless of the team they play in.
Confidence
is particularly important, and this is fostered by playing a ’15 man
game’ at levels where everybody is able to contribute. Millfield does
not view the result as the most important issue; it is much better to
develop players over time and then positive results will follow.
What’s involved?
At 1st team level, alongside three sessions of skill training, the players are encouraged to attend three weights sessions and two fitness sessions every week. All other players train at least twice weekly and all players receive nutritional guidance.
Each team usually plays one match a week, and many enter several annual competitions, including Sevens Tournaments. Millfield also runs an extensive tour programme (for further information, click here)
