Bournemouth Rugby is pleased to announce that 8 of our under 14’s players have been selected by Premiership Rugby Clubs to enter their Developing Player Programme (DPP).
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.
A huge congratulations to our players, that have been selected
For Bath, the selected players are:
Korbin Clark
Jack Gallacher
Finn Marshall
Jacka Ware
James Wheeler
Dan Williams
Felix Vincent
For London Irish, the selected player is:
Carson Parry
This success by our U14’s is down to both the hard work of both players and to our talented U14’s volunteer coaches who’s hard work and dedication is paying off with so many players selected for the DPP programme. From the whole of Bournemouth Rugby well done and congratulations.
