From the whole of Bournemouth Rugby, well done and congratulations.
The DPP engages players aged 13 – 16 years old and is a development programme which interacts with and complements school, club and county playing programmes, to provide further development opportunities for young players without the conflict of competition.
These programme’s are nationally managed by the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and delivered locally through a partnership between the RFU, the Regional Academies and Constituent Bodies.
DPP represents the entry point to the talent pathway for professional rugby and represents the place where players will be identified and developed with a view to selecting those players with the greatest long-term potential to join the club academy at U17 level.
