Daventry RFC
Awarded RFU – Seal of Approval Level 2
Daventry
RFC Mini & Junior section have been awarded the RFU level 2 Seal of Approval
status. The committee and coaches have been working hard meeting the
criteria. All coaches have attended coaching courses, first aid courses and
child welfare courses ensuring the players receive the best coaching in an
environment that is safe and progressive for young people to achieve their
rugby ambitions in.
The club
have worked closely with the East Midlands RFU to achieve the award and
would like to thank them for all their support.
The club
achieved sign off on 9th March from the Regional Rugby
Development Manager Jeff Mapp. The Seal Of Approval means that the club
offers quality rugby provision in a safe and child friendly environment.
Amongst other successful criteria the club have formed partnerships with
local schools and improved coaching and safeguarding standards in line with
RFU guidelines. I
What is the Seal Of Approval?
The Rugby
Football Union has introduced the Seal of Approval as a method of examining,
maintaining and improving the provision of rugby in the youth section of a
rugby club. It aims to recognise the effort and achievement of those clubs
that reach and maintain the required standard to meet the various levels of
the Seal of Approval.
The Seal
of Approval will be used to satisfy the Active Sports Club Registration
Criteria for those clubs involved in delivery of the Active Sports Rugby
Union Programme.
The
criteria for the Sport England ‘Safe, Effective & Child Friendly Club’ mark
is integrated within the Seal of Approval. A successful application for the
RFU Seal of Approval will achieve the Sport England ‘Safe, Effective & Child
Friendly Club’.
The
Programme is based upon a three year Level I, Level II and Level III Award
system in which a club will be assessed on its ability to provide a safe,
effective and child friendly club environment.
Having
completed the Seal of Approval Audit and Evidence File, a club will identify
activities or areas that require development over the next 12 months. The
club will then produce a realistic development plan based upon these needs,
whereupon successful accreditation will have been achieved.
By
implementing the first year development plan and having the second year plan
approved, a club will qualify for Level II status. The same process in year
three will lead to Level III status.
The Award
will be an indication of the quality of provision a club offers, and its
commitment to the continued development of young rugby players. A club will
receive certification to confirm accreditation, both from the Rugby Football
Union and Sport England.

Training
The pre-season training commenced on Sunday
6th
September with a 4 week period for registration and training to be completed, before we begin matches.
Please ensure you are fully
registered as soon as possible. If you were registered last year, all you need
do is fill in simple form and hand the sub's over. If you are a new member, we
need two passport sized photo's to go with the forms.
We only have two weeks to go before our first fixtures (5th
October), so it is
vital that this is done before the first match as unregistered player are not
allowed to play.
