Thanks to sponsorship from Friends of Scottish Rugby we provide an academy like setup for our Colts with professional coaching provided by:
We are now well into the season and train each Wednesday from 6:30 – 7:45, with matches on Sundays.
We play a variety of matches throughout the season to keep it interesting and make sure the guys get challenged, these include
Within the group we have a number of players who play county rugby for Middlesex, Surrey, are on the Scottish regional Development programme, or are linked to premier club academies so hopefully you would find it an interesting group and a challenge.
Post Age group rugby we have a number of options available to players which include:
Professional rugby – over the last two years those that followed this route have needed time to develop after Colts rugby and have joined the club’s Professional Entry Programme (PEP) which allows them to develop with other clubs, until they are ready to make the step up. You’ll see on the clubs website that Matas Jurevicius and Miles Wakeling are ex two Colts players who have followed that route and have signed with the club for next season.
Senior amateur rugby – a number of former players now play with the London Scottish Lions teams who play competitive rugby in the league structures below our 1st XV, both teams gained promotion last year and they have a very good coaching set-up as well. Many of our players who go away to university come back to play for the Lions on holidays or after leaving university.
