[QUOTE="Saintjay, post: 459133, member: 55969"] I would speak to your school teacher head of P.E or whatever you call it. You should ask him about the county set up and if you have can attend county trials. Team wise I would pick Nuneaton RFC over Old Ed's, they are a better level and in the same leauge as Preston Grass Hoppers, Loughborough students etc. They are in National Leauge 2 North that is a very good standard. Only just down from the Prem, there first team will be pro or at least semi-pro at a guess. Old Ed's are not far behind and play in Midlands Two East South, they are semi-pro as far as I am aware. You need to look at clubs and schools that Leicester tigers use for there EDPG. Have you played any club rugby at all? Tigers Academy will only take players from the EDPG or schools for rugby programme. I found this on the tigers site, have a look at the Academy stuff on there as well. The age range Tigers are looking at is 14 - 16 this is when clubs are now looking at people. I would send the below an E-mail and ask all the questions that you have here, including what is the best way to get noticed, as the harsh truth is no matter how good you are unless you are at the right places to get spotted your going to struggle. If you are looking to join a club then we suggest you contact Jenna Studley, the RFU Rugby Development Officer (RDO) for Leicestershire. Jenna has links with all local clubs and would be able to recommend a club that fits your needs. For further information email [EMAIL="jennastudley@rfu.com"]jennastudley@rfu.com[/EMAIL]. [/QUOTE]
