Andover RFC - Youth Academy
Information
The squads within the Youth Academy are organised in line with the RFU guidelines. This creates a squad for every year from Under 6s through to the Under 17s. The single year age groups ensure that the players skill and physical development are as closely matched as possible. The coaching within the age groups is tailored to their needs and the full game is introduced in steps as the players develop and progress through each of the squads.
The role of the Colts is to manage the transition from the Youth Academy through to the Senior teams. As this is the primary role of the Youth Academy this process is closely managed and covers players from the Under 16s through to players of 18-19 years of age. We are currently seeing this process bear fruit with a number of our Colts making first team appearances.
Your age group is based on your age at the 1st September
Each of our squads are sponsored by local companies whose support we are very proud and privileged to have.
