Young Glory for Girls

WINTER PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

We are looking for the most committed U16 and U18 female rugby players in the region to become part of the first Young Glory Girls Winter Performance Program.

Based at Athletic Republic in Springfield, the program will run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings through the winter and into the beginning of the Spring rugby season.

The objective is simple: to provide ambitious female players with a genuine high-performance environment that will prepare them physically and technically for their Spring season, while beginning to build a Young Glory Girls select program capable of competing at regional and national competitions.

This will be an intense winter training program and is designed for players who want to challenge themselves and take their rugby to another level.

Training will include:

  • Strength and athletic development
  • Speed, agility and conditioning
  • Rugby skill development
  • Contact conditioning
  • Tackle technique
  • Wrestling and grappling
  • Competitive training
  • Position-specific development

The program will take place indoors, allowing us to create a controlled, high-intensity training environment throughout the winter.

This will not be a participation program.

We are looking for players who are committed, coachable, competitive and prepared to work hard. Places will be limited so that we can maintain the quality of the training environment and give every athlete the attention they need.

Our longer-term goal is to identify and develop a strong group of female players who can represent Young Glory in select competitions, while also returning to their school and club programs stronger, fitter, more confident and better prepared.

Young Glory already has a clear pathway for developing ambitious young rugby players, and we want to create the same opportunities for the best young female players in the DMV.
