Surrey Ladies Open training sessions & Coaching Staff

This year Surrey Ladies are trialing a new way of engaging with those players eligible to play for County in the upcoming Gill Burns Cup. In previous years we have not had contact with players until we trial in January, however this year, in an effort to develop more players and create a clearer pathway into the county programme we are running open training sessions in the run up to the trial. 

These sessions will be delivered by the county coaching team and be based around the attacking and defensive principles that we will be building upon post-trial. These are open to all who would like to trial, however we would request that you meet at least one of the following criteria: 

1. Play regularly for your clubs first XV/ Tyrell’s Premiership Development Squads 
2. Have been previously capped for Surrey Rugby 
3. Come through the County Pathway (Girls U15/18) 

So that we can be prepared as a coaching team could you please register using the link below - this way we can gauge numbers and keep a record of who’s attended so that we can establish a working relationship that best helps you as an individual develop.

Please note that attending these sessions, or if you have previously been selected for the squad, does not guarantee you a place in this year's squad. You will be required to trial in January, these details will be sent out once confirmed.
